Irvine, CA family law attorney Amanda Beall talks about examples of complex property. She points out that complex property is a broad term that can include a variety of assets. The most common situations she encounters involve one or both spouses holding an ownership interest in a business, which often requires an expert to value that interest and determine how it will be divided.

Another type of complex asset she frequently handles is restricted stock unit (RSU) awards that a spouse may receive through their employer. These require careful attention to the vesting schedule and the specific date on which the stock is valued.
