Assets and Debt Division

If you would like to discuss the division of your assets and debts with us in an in-person meeting, you can save time and money if you make a spreadsheet of your major assets and debts, and the value of the assets/debts at some point in time (such as now or the date you physically separated). The best format to use is 5 columns: 1) Identification of the asset (e.g. 2020 F150, or RBC Savings #1234) 2) Value to use (e.g. $100,000) 3) Whose name is the item currently registered in (not who is going to keep it) (J-Joint, W-Wife, H-Husband) 4) The date the value is from (e.g. 12/31/19) 5) Who is likely to keep the item? (H-Husband, W-Wife, J-continue to own the item jointly) List all debts as well with the same columns. Use a negative value. Bring the spreadsheet to the meeting on a USB thumbdrive/stick. Bringing a draft spreadsheet to the meeting can save you time and money -- but it is not required.
