well there are two main issues that
00:06
arise with division of complex assets
00:08
and that is uh the first being valuation
00:11
and the second being actual division
00:13
valuation
00:14
is the first step we would need to
00:16
figure out how to put a number on what
00:18
this asset is
00:20
sometimes that may mean getting certain
00:22
documentation to
00:23
show what that account is worth or
00:26
whatever that may be
00:28
other times it may be getting the help
00:30
of an expert or
00:31
of an accountant to help us uh put a
00:34
value to this asset for instance
00:36
with real estate a lot of times we need
00:39
a real estate appraiser to help us value
00:41
that that asset other times if
00:44
for instance a family-run business a
00:47
expert will be necessary to help us
00:49
figure out the value of that business
00:51
and once we have a value we’re able to
00:53
figure out how that asset
00:56
is divided if it’s possible for that
00:57
asset to be divided
00:59
a lot of times a jointly held family
01:01
business is not something that
01:02
you want to continue to have jointly
01:04
held after a divorce
01:06
so in situations like that we need to
01:09
figure out does someone need to get
01:11
purchased out of that
01:13
business and how that would work
