Equitable Division

Skilled Family Lawyers Focused on Asset Protection

The equitable distribution of property can be one of the most difficult issues to resolve in a divorce - particularly for those families with substantial assets and extensive investments.

At the Scott Horenstein Law Firm, PLLC, in Vancouver, Washington, our attorneys use their skill and experience to help ensure fair property division during a divorce. We will thoroughly analyze all of your assets to ensure that your interests are fully protected.

• Bank Accounts: While bank accounts may appear easily divisible on the surface, these seemingly straightforward assets still warrant a thorough investigation prior to any division. We say this because not all property is considered community property and therefore should not be considered during the equitable distribution process. We will carefully review your bank accounts to ensure that your interests are protected.
• Businesses: With the current economic climate, dividing the assets of a business can prove to be a challenge. We will perform a thorough business valuation to determine the value of this asset and focus on ensuring that this asset is fairly divided.
• Real Estate Investments: Although real estate is a traditionally strong and valuable investment, the recent downturn in the market has turned many properties into liabilities. We will make sure that you understand the full implications of accepting a home or other properties as part of a property settlement.
