Matrimonial Planning

Safeguarding your financial well-being and preserving your assets.
Safeguarding your financial future

Whether you're considering a pre-nuptial agreement, going through a divorce, or updating your estate plan, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. We assist in protecting personal interests, assets, and financial stability both in the context of forming or dissolving a marital union. Most importantly, our services are performed with confidentiality.

Confidentiality you can trust
We understand that discussing sensitive matters like divorce requires a high degree of trust and discretion. Our commitment to serving as a fiduciary and safeguarding your personal information is at the core of our practice, ensuring that you can navigate your financial planning with confidence and peace of mind.

Our Fiduciary Responsibility

As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), Evergreen Gavekal is bound by fiduciary duty, which means we are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interests at all times. This commitment guides every aspect of our relationship with you, from the advice we provide to the decisions we help you make.

Key Considerations in Divorce Planning
Divorce can be an emotional and financial whirlwind. Our goal is to help you weather the storm with confidence and clarity. From strategic tax planning and retirement protection, we strive to keep your financial future bright and secure.
Asset Division

We put together projections based on proposed asset division to advocate for equitable distribution that aligns with your long-term financial goals.

Cash Flow

We put together a plan that analyzes cash flows related to your divorce, which may be temporary or unreliable. Cash flow considerations may include spousal support, child support, loss of retirement funds, and other expenses of divorce into your broader plan.

Retirement Plan

We help clients modify their planning or start from scratch to accommodate new financial realities and plan for the future.

Tax Implications

Divorce can have significant tax consequences. We offer strategic advice to minimize your tax burden and maximize your financial outcome.

Estate Planning

Post-divorce, it's essential to update your estate plan to reflect your new circumstances. Our goal is to keep your assets protected and clearly outline your wishes.

Generational Continuity

Not all matrimonial planning occurs between a couple. We help clients take measures to keep wealth within the family lineage, safeguarding it from potential marital disputes and properly transfer it to future generations.

Benefits of a Pre-Nuptial Agreement
For those entering into marriage, a pre-nuptial agreement can be an invaluable tool for protecting individual assets and providing financial clarity. Our pre-nuptial planning services are designed to help you and your partner establish a strong financial foundation.
Asset Protection

Clearly define the ownership of assets acquired before and during the marriage, protecting your individual financial interests.

Debt Management

Outline responsibility for individual and jointly held debts with the goal of providing financial transparency and peace of mind.

Business Interests

Safeguard any business interests brought into the marriage to provide protection in the event of a divorce.

Inheritance Rights

Provide support so that your children from previous relationships receive their intended inheritance regardless of marital changes.

Minimize Conflict

A well-drafted pre-nuptial agreement can reduce conflicts and legal battles in the event of a divorce, which saves time, stress, and money.
