Why choose Bird Luckin

Forensic Accounting: A matrimonial case study

We were instructed by solicitors acting for both parties with a view to advising on Capital Gains tax issues in the event of a divorce or separation. 

Our remit covered the quantification of the net asset value of the couple with a view to the most beneficial timing for transfer of assets, whether pre or post separation, and advice to the lawyers and the couple to determine what assets should go to each party.  Our work also considered potential gains that might arise on a future sale. 

The case involved several buy to let properties and a holiday home as well as the couple’s principal private residence.
