Dividing Collectibles In A Divorce

Art, antiques and collectibles can be, in some instances, a significant portion of your marital estate. As such, the value of those items is subject to equitable division during divorce. But while financial assets can be easily valued (though sometimes less easily characterized), valuing personal property items can present challenges. This is particularly true when the items are unique or a limited market exists for those items.

If you are entering into divorce, and you or your spouse acquired collectible items during your marriage, you need an attorney with experience in the characterization and valuation of personal property items to manage your art collection division.
