Plano Asset Valuation And Property Division Attorneys: Seeking A Just And Right Division Of Marital Assets

Attorney GUNNSTAKS works tirelessly for each client to make sure they get their fair share. We consult forensic accountants, appraisers and other experts to locate, evaluate and protect assets involved in a high net-worth divorce. Such high-value property may include:

  • Business assets
  • Stocks and investments
  • Retirement plans
  • Vacation homes
  • Vehicles, boats and planes
  • Bank accounts, including overseas and offshore accounts
  • Fringe benefits, imputed income and other hidden assets

In Texas, an asset that is acquired or increases in value during the marriage is generally part of the community estate and must be divided equitably between the spouses upon divorce. As a general rule, however, assets acquired before marriage – or by gift or inheritance – remain separate property.

The exception to that rule is called “commingling.” For example, your spouse may receive an inheritance that is then deposited in your joint bank account. The inheritance is now commingled with the community assets, and must be zealously traced in order to convince a court that it should still be considered as separate property.
