Why solid information matters in divorce cases

The property is often the largest shared asset of a married couple. Wrong decisions during this tense phase can have long-term financial consequences – for both sides. A clear overview of the legal possibilities and financial implications creates the basis for a fair solution that both partners can support.

What you’ll find in the guide

Transfer of ownership

One partner takes over the other’s share. What to consider regarding mortgages, payouts and taxes – and when this solution really makes sense.

Selling the property

Often the cleanest solution: a clear break and a fair division of the proceeds. How to achieve a market-appropriate price even in this situation.

Renting as an interim solution

If a sale isn’t an option, renting can be a viable middle path. What to keep in mind.

Gifting the share

In certain constellations, gifting the property share can be considered. The tax implications you should be aware of.
