Overseas Assets Attorney New York

Family Law Lawyer Serving Kingston, NY

Overseas Assets May Be Marital Property

Married couples with high net worth often store money in overseas accounts or have a stake in offshore businesses as a tax shelter. Often one spouse may have brought the assets into the marriage and wishes to maintain it as separate property. In many cases, the spouse who controls the financial dealings in the marriage may hide asset from the other spouse. In the event of a divorce, it is required by law to disclose all assets for characterization as either separate property or marital property. The primary concern for the other spouse is knowing where to uncover the overseas asset and extracting it for characterization and equitable distribution.

If you are fighting to protect your financial interests in a divorce, will your lawyer have the skill and experience to handle issues related to overseas accounts? At the firm of Jonathan D. Katz, Attorney at Law, I have been representing clients with high net worth in divorces throughout New York for more than a quarter of a century. I offer the resources and knowledge to determine the full and appreciated value of the overseas investment and investigate the extent the property should be characterized as separate or marital property. I rely on my own extensive experience, as well as the experience and specialized knowledge of independent professionals, including business valuation experts, forensic accountants and professionals with skills in all areas of international bank accounts and foreign investments.

Upon interviewing Jonathan Katz, I decided to retain him because I was impressed with his approach to divorce: he advocated communication, conflict reduction, and efficiency, toward reducing the stress and monetary expense already inherent to any legal action.

When my case took unexpected turns, Jonathan was agile and effective in his response, even when the straightforward divorce turned into an international custody battle that went to federal court. Responsive at every turn, efficient, and wise in his counsel, Mr. Katz's legal services gave me real value for my investment.
