Liquidation of property
and assets
Settling the property interests of couples
The separation of couples, whether married or not, is likely to have major consequences on their assets. It can be necessary to divide the assets they have acquired together. This involves not only valuing the property but also, where applicable, reconstructing the financial flows between them, in order to assess what each of them is entitled to receive when the assets are divided.
This requires the services of lawyers experienced in the liquidation of matrimonial property regimes, both in terms of liquidation techniques and the position of the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation), which has evolved considerably in recent years.
Change of matrimonial property regime
Property-related issues also concern spouses who are planning to change their matrimonial property regime. In such cases, it is essential to seek the advice of a professional experienced in property law, in order to assess the advantages and disadvantages of a change of matrimonial property regime, and to liquidate your existing matrimonial property regime.
