Division of Marital Property
With her emphasis in business law in law school, attention to financial detail, and Collaborative Law skills, Linda will help you think creatively as you divide real estate, retirement plans, investment accounts and other property. Linda’s analysis is thorough. If necessary, she will work with mortgage brokers to develop acceptable solutions for the division of equity in real estate. She works with financial planners and accountants to prepare valuations and assist in determining tax and other long-term consequences of various proposed divisions of assets.
Spousal Maintenance
Even though you are ending your marriage, your financial obligation to the other party may continue for some time. Or, the spouse you are divorcing may have an obligation to you. Either way, Linda is skilled at using financial tools to assist you in accurately determining your ability to pay and/or your level of need for financial assistance. Whether you will be paying or receiving spousal maintenance, Linda will work with you to find creative solutions for maintaining your standard of living and financial security. If settlement becomes impossible, she will provide effective representation for you in court.
After a divorce, from time to time your financial circumstances may change dramatically. Since your circumstances will change independently of those of your former spouse, Linda can help you file or respond to a Modification of Spousal Support motion.
Wills and Estates
Planning for one’s financial future in a dissolution of marriage includes estate planning. One will want to ensure that their children, relatives and significant other persons in their life will benefit from their estate. Often this means that one will want to revise their will, or have one prepared for the first time. Linda can assist you with this. She will help you rethink the process of planning an estate and will draft the type of will and trust that will achieve your goals.
If you are dividing your property as part of your divorce proceedings, please contact Linda for effective, thought-out counsel.
