Division of Assets
 One of the major components of divorce is the division and distribution of the assets of the couple. In Massachusetts, all assets, “whenever and however acquired,” are initially considered part of the marital estate. Property (real and personal) subject to division consists, not only of those assets acquired during the marriage, but, potentially, also of those assets that were brought into the marriage by each party and those assets acquired through gift or inheritance.

At Kerstein, Coren & Lichtenstein, we aggressively advocate for your interests regarding marital assets. Sometimes, not all the assets of a marriage are apparent and we assist by searching for all assets of the marriage, including those which may be hidden. Assets subject to division may include the following:
- Real property
- Personal property, including antiques, art and jewelry
- Gold and rare coins
- Bank accounts
- Investment accounts
- Securities
- Trusts
- Business Interests
- Retirement plan benefits
- Intellectual property interests (patents, trademarks)
- Personal Injury awards
- Working with expert witnesses, we obtain appraisals of those assets not easily valued, such as family owned businesses.
We fight for a division of assets that recognizes contribution to the marital partnership in all forms, including earnings, assets acquired prior to the marriage or gifted during the marriage, inheritances, and homemaking and child rearing contributions.
