Dedicated and Experienced Complex Property Division Advocate in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles
One aspect of many high-asset divorces is the division of the many complex types of property that may be held by the couple. This can include monetary accounts (retirement accounts, pensions), real estate (vacation homes, property in other states) and businesses. To ensure that you receive your due share of the property according to California community property laws, you should have a knowledgeable lawyer on your side.
From the Law Office of Vimala D. Nowlis, I provide clients with personalized advice and guidance in complex property division and high-asset divorce cases. With an MBA and a background in fiscal management, I am uniquely qualified to handle cases involving assets and property. You should not trust complex divorces to an unqualified representative. If you do, you may be putting your future at risk.

Valuation of Businesses for Division
If you own a business with your spouse, or have invested your time and money into helping a spouse build a business, it is essential that you obtain an accurate family business valuation. By determining how much the business is worth, you can feel more confident that you are receiving your share in the divorce.
It is important to note that business valuation takes the manpower of an experienced business valuation expert who may not be available to do the valuation at a moment's notice. Most of the reliable experts I enlist are not available for five or six months after there is a request for a business valuation.
Once the business valuation process has started, the expert is granted complete access to the business's records and analyzes all of the transactions. This can be a very expensive process, starting at around $15,000.
Types of Monetary Accounts for Division
I am able to utilize the expertise of forensic accountants in order to ensure that all types of monetary accounts are accounted for and subject to the proper division. Whether we take the time to locate offshore accounts or scrutinize retirement benefits, I can assist you in protecting your rights and the assets that are rightfully yours. Some of the types of accounts that may be subject to division under the community property laws in California include:
- Investments (stocks and bonds)
- 401(k)s
- Retirement accounts
- Pensions
- Inheritances
