Marital Assets Division

Lake County Illinois Marital Property Lawyers

Often one of the most contentious issues in working out a divorce agreement is negotiating the division of marital property. At Weinstein & Douglas, P.C., our attorneys have extensive experience working out asset division agreements for clients throughout Lake County, Illinois.

Experienced Asset Division Attorneys

The first step in asset division negotiations is determining what property is part of the marital estate and what is not. Most people believe that all property held by either spouse is part of the marital estate. This is not the case. Some examples of non-marital property include property acquired prior to the marriage and property acquired through an inheritance.

Marital property includes retirement accounts, home equity, IRAs, pensions, 401Ks, bank accounts, any personal property, and family-owned or closely-held businesses. Determining the value of a family-owned business and other assets can be a complex matter. Our attorneys work with a variety of professionals on business valuations related to asset division.

Our goal when handling divorces with significant assets and closely held or family owned businesses, is to ensure our clients receive an equitable division of the marital estate. Our attorneys have extensive experience evaluating the value of jointly held property and negotiating an equitable division of the marital estate.
