Program Materials

This CLE webinar will prepare family law counsel on the distribution of hard to value and non-transferable business interests in limited partnership and other entities in the context of divorce. The panel will outline ways to address distribution issues and suggest language to include in the marital settlement agreement.

Description

Complex valuation and distribution issues arise when a divorce involves a spouse who has an interest in a limited partnership or other business investment entity, hedge fund or private equity fund.

Difficulties in valuing these interests create significant asset distribution issues. Counsel must understand the unique attributes of non-transferable and hard to value interests, and how to deal with the valuation and distribution issues in the context of divorce.

If these assets cannot be valued, practitioners should recognize ways to treat these interests in a divorce. If the interests cannot be transferred to or divided with the other spouse, counsel should identify other available options, such as setting up a post-divorce entity for distribution.

Listen as our panel, comprised of a family law attorney and financial experts, discusses and explains the challenging issues that arise within the divorce context when the marital estate includes non-transferable business interests. The panel will offer options for settlement and review drafting language in the settlement agreement.
