Property settlement

Abogado & RA Ingmar Hessler

14. December 2016

In the event of divorce, it is important to check exactly which matrimonial property regime exists and how it can be correctly separated.

The statutory Spanish matrimonial property regime differs significantly from the German community of accrued gains. Every mistake made in the classification and settlement has a significant financial impact.

Often, half-knowledge or unreflected Google searches lead to devastatingly wrong decisions, because anyone who makes important agreements regarding the division of assets on the basis of incorrect information can rarely hope for the understanding and support of the divorced spouse to correct mistakes in divorce constellations.

Whether the spouses jointly own a property or an investment, or whether there is only a claim to equalization of gains between them, makes a significant difference.
