Characterization and Tracing
Safeguard your assets with our expert characterization and tracing services. We will ensure that your property is accurately classified and protected according to Texas Family Law.
Tracing is Essential
If you came into the marriage with assets or received separate property during marriage—such as a personal injury award or inherited funds—our services become essential. We use precise formulas and methodologies based on the most current Texas Family Code principles, as directed by your attorney, to trace these assets and determine their proper classification. This ensures you have the data to make equitable decisions and settlements.
Whether it’s characterizing your assets or establishing valid reimbursement claims, our meticulous approach ensures that your property is accurately identified and preserved.
What We Trace & Characterize
Our team is skilled in tracing a wide range of assets to confirm their classification as separate property. These include:
- Inherited Property
- Retirement Accounts
- Investment Accounts
- Houses & Land
- Gifts
- Mineral Rights
- Shares of Stock
- Cash, Dividends, & Stock Splits
- Employee Incentive Shares
- Stock Units or Shares that vest post-divorce
Understanding Your Property Rights
In Texas, understanding the distinction between separate property and community property is crucial.
Separate Property
Includes assets you owned before marriage, as well as those acquired through inheritance or gifts during marriage.
Community Property
Community property includes assets acquired with income earned during marriage by either spouse. As Texas is a community property state, these assets are shared equally by both parties.
