High Net Worth Divorce cases involving significant assets are often complex and require not only a lawyer but also input from other professionals such as accountants, actuaries, pension specialists, surveyors and more.
Some individuals seeking a High Net Worth Divorce may also lead international lifestyles which can also bring difficulties to the table.
What to consider in regard to a high net worth divorce.
Tax
Tax is often a significant issue, and it is important to obtain professional advice as early as possible to reduce any liability particularly when it comes to Stamp Duty and Capital Gains Tax.
Business
High Complex Divorces often involve company structures, where both parties hold shares and derive income. Companies valuations may be required and a jointly instructed expert may need to be appointed.
Pensions
Pensions have also become significantly more complex, and it is often recommended to instruct a pensions actuary to advise upon how the most appropriate division is structured.
Chattels
In some cases, chattels, i.e., property possessions need to be valued. Many high net worth clients own watches, jewellery, art, cars etc., all of which have significant value and should be included on the balance sheet.
Capital Position
In many cases we need to address not only the capital position but also whether spousal maintenance, child maintenance, “top up” child maintenance and school fees orders are appropriate.
Consideration also needs to be given to life assurances and wills, to protect the individual post settlement.
