Strategic Approach to High-Net-Worth Inheritance & Property Division

Often, complex divorces are further strained by concerns regarding the division of marital property and debt. 

For clients with highly valuable property and significant individual and marital investments, the process can be even more complicated and involve many different concerns, such as:

  • Investment assets
  • Family-owned businesses
  • Professional practice interests
  • Multimillion-dollar homes and real estate
  • IRS tax debt and credit card debt

Florida is an equitable distribution state, so marital assets are divided fairly, but not necessarily 50/50. Primary issues include:

  • Identifying and defining separate (nonmarital) property: Any assets brought into a marriage, whether received as a gift or inheritance or obtained through personal injury awards, are considered separate property unless they were commingled with marital assets. This separate, nonmarital property is not subject to equitable distribution.
  • Asset and debt evaluation: When all assets, property, and debts are clearly identified, the hard work begins with the negotiation of an equitable division. Who gets the primary residence? Who assumes the credit card debt? How do the retirement funds get divided? Typically, all assets accumulated during the marriage not otherwise identified as nonmarital are considered marital property.

Gladstone, Weissman, Hirschberg & Schneider, P.A. is here to protect our clients’ marital rights and help them pursue an equitable distribution of all assets and debts.

What Our Clients Have Said

REAL FEEDBACK FROM REAL PEOPLE
  • Treated as One of Their Family

    “If you’re looking for attorneys with the highest level of integrity that really care about their clients, these guys are the “real deal”.”

  • I felt she did for me what she would have done for herself.

    I never write a review, but this time I think it’s important to share my experience to others who are going through the same situation:

    Divorce is not an easy process, with a minor child involved it is even more difficult. I had the pleasure of meeting Denise in the middle of a tough time emotionally and while in the middle of a current divorce process that seemed to have no end in sight. It was the most painful period in my life. I had a 1-year-old baby, a company to take care of, and my entire family living outside the United States, and I felt totally powerless. I was unable to finalize my divorce and to have a proper timesharing schedule that would be in the best interest of my child. Two prior attorneys tried for over a year, but couldn’t find the right strategy to move my process forward and release me from the deep pain of the divorce along with the never-ending high bills. The entire situation left me completely frustrated.

    Denise looked out for me and my daughter. She moved my case and gave me advice to help me deal with the situation. I was able to think better and to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had a complicated case with a complex person who was not willing to agree to any proposal. I was ready to invest more and more money in what was a tough situation for me to go through. I was willing to go to trial and solve everything in court. Denise never let me lose the faith that it would end and that I would be okay. She set up the mediation as a final step and we were able to finalize my divorce with a detailed agreement that included the best interest of my daughter. I highly recommend Denise with all her knowledge and being so careful with the client. Denise made me feel heard, In what was a very tough time in my life, I trusted Denise and she led me to my freedom. I am extremely grateful to have found her. Denise never made me feel like a statistic, I felt she did for me what she would have done for herself. I am thankful for Denise and her support through this difficult process.”

  • Gave me comfort.

    “My strong belief is that he is as talented a divorce attorney as can be found in South Florida. Over and above that, his sincere caring and concern for my emotional state gave me comfort through extremely tough times.”
