- IRAs
- Pension plans
- Stocks, bonds and other investments
Asset Valuation Guidance
A proper asset valuation by an expert in the field is critical to the outcome of your property and retirement division case. If your spouse's assets are found to be very valuable, or your share of assets is found to be worth less than expected, you may be able to keep your entire retirement plan.
Financial experts may be retained to obtain accurate valuations of your property, saving you time and money while protecting long-term rights to your assets.
