DIVISION OF ASSETS

Division of Property Lawyer

When a relationship ends – whether through divorce, separation or the passing of a partner – it is often necessary to divide assets and debts. This is called division of assets. It can feel complicated, but with the right legal help, the process becomes much easier. In this guide, you’ll learn what a division of assets is, how it works, and why it’s often wise to hire a lawyer.

At Linton Kennegård Law Firm, we offer professional and personal assistance with division of assets – whether you're married or in a cohabiting relationship. We can assist as legal representatives or appointed property distributors, depending on your needs.

We have extensive experience with divisions in Stockholm and also handle international cases. Whether you are currently in a dispute or want to avoid future issues, we are here to guide you through the process.

Legal Aspects of Divorce and Separation

In a divorce, the couple's assets and debts must be divided. If no agreement is reached, the district court may appoint a property distributor. You may also propose a lawyer – for example, from our firm – to act as an impartial distributor.

Division During Marriage

A division of assets can also be carried out during a marriage, for instance to clarify ownership of property or other assets. This requires a written agreement signed by both spouses.

Don't Hesitate to Seek Legal Help

Division of property can be complicated, especially when there are shared loans, real estate, or disputed assets. It is reassuring to have an experienced lawyer on your side. At Linton Kennegård Law Firm, we provide support through the entire process.

What Will Division of Assets Mean for You?

In general, all property not considered separate by prenuptial agreement, gift deed, or will should be divided equally. For cohabitants, only jointly acquired housing and household goods are included.

It's important that the division is done properly and that all relevant assets are declared. The earlier you start preparing, the smoother it will be.

Division of Assets May Affect Your Finances

How assets and debts are divided can have a major impact on your future finances. This often includes large amounts, such as real estate and pension savings. That’s why it’s essential to get it right from the beginning.

When Do You Need a Lawyer for Property Division?

When you can't agree, when there are significant assets involved, or if you want legal support and security throughout the process.

How Much Does a Property Distributor Cost?

The cost is usually shared between the parties. You pay for the time the lawyer spends on the case, and the amount depends on the complexity.

Can You Choose Your Own Distributor?

Yes, you may propose your own candidate to the court, as long as there's no previous client relationship with either party.

What If We Agree?

If you agree, it's enough to sign a valid property division agreement. We’re happy to help draft it.

What Does Linton Kennegård AB Offer?
