DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW ARE ALL WE DO
Complex Property Issues
Experienced Complex Property Issues Attorney
What happens if one spouse received inheritance monies during the marriage and placed those monies in a jointly held bank account with the other spouse? What if the spouses purchased real property during the marriage but the title is only in one spouse’s name? Complex property issues can often arise in divorce and legal separation proceedings, and when they do, you need to be prepared to tackle them.
At the Law Firm of Grant E. Bayerle, APC, we know that things can get contentious in property division. With over 25 years of combined experience, Grant E. Bayerle and his staff understand how to work through complicated issues to make sure all the property you are entitled to is accounted for and distributed equitably. We are committed to helping you secure the fair division of complex property during divorce and separation proceedings.
We Know How To Resolve Complex Property Division
The California statutes define what community property is and what separate property is but do not clearly address some of the more complex property issues. Attorney Bayerle is familiar with both statutory and case law and can answer questions about all your complex property issues. Oftentimes, these questions can be answered at an initial consultation.
Community property is defined as all property acquired by either the husband or wife during the marriage except for property that is:
- Acquired by gift, devise, or descent (inheritance)
- Acquired after service of a petition for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or annulment if the petition results in a decree of dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or annulment
The spouses have equal management, control, and disposition rights over their community property and have equal power to bind the community. This means that either spouse separately may acquire, manage, control, or dispose of community property or bind the community, except that the joinder of both spouses is required in certain cases.
