Case Study 6 – The Wealthy Divorcees
Background
- Mr & Mrs B were aged 48 and 52, in good health, with two teenage children. Mr B ran a successful business from land and buildings owned by one of his pension schemes. Substantial asset base.
Concerns
- How to provide an adequate split of the assets which enabled Mr B to continue to run his business and Mrs B received a fair settlement.
- How to factor in the Irish pension which was not subject to UK law.
What We Did
- Advised share needed to be 54%:46% in Mrs B’s favour rising to 58%:42% ignoring the Irish pension.
- We advised that Mrs B needed to resign as a trustee from the pension plan to ensure Mr B had full control of his pension assets.
- A sharing order for 100% of Mrs B’s pension was drawn up in favour of Mr B.
The Results
- Mr B retained land and buildings within his pension and retained his business.
- Mrs B took the bulk of the other assets.
What Our Clients Say...
I would highly recommend this company...
“I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting information on pensions during, or after a divorce. Their professionalism and speedy response, is to be welcomed in an age where a lot of companies seem to have lost the idea of “customer service.
My query was replied to and resolved within 24 hours which was greatly appreciated.
