Albany Lawyers for Divorce-Related Taxation Issues
The divorce process generates a number of tax consequences. The party represented by an attorney who understands how taxes impact your divorce settlement has a major advantage. Make sure you get the complete picture on taxes in your divorce.
At the law offices of Maxwell & Van Ryn, our divorce attorneys can help you plan for the numerous factors that will impact your settlement, including taxes. With comprehensive real estate and business law practices as well, we provide our clients with the integrated legal counsel needed to handle complex divorce matters.
Taxes Will Impact How Your Divorce Settlement Works
The tax aspects of asset transfer and property division are just as much a part of your marital estate as your house, car or other assets. By taking proper account of tax attributes, you will effectively increase the amount of property available to split. In addition to providing a more complete picture of available assets, you will avoid unanticipated consequences after your divorce.
In addition to property division after your divorce, we will take a look at other tax consequences, such as income tax, child support, or capital gains tax and the sale of residential real estate. The assignment of tax obligations or benefits from one spouse to another can help balance out these plans.
By paying attention to the basis, depreciation and characterization of different tax consequences, you can come up with a divorce settlement that not only protects your own financial interests, but can also protect the overall value of the marital estate.
