Protect Your Assets | Legally Claim Your Ownership
We will need to determine how much of the practice, if any, is community property in the marriage. Our attorneys work with business valuation experts and medical experts to determine the value of business assets and all aspects of the practice. We handle cases involving many types of professional practices, including:
- Physicians
- Surgeons
- Nurses
- Anesthesiologists
- Dentists
- Chiropractors
- Psychiatrists
- Psychologists
- Other medical professionals
The most valuable asset of any business is usually the earning power of the professional(s) running the business. In Texas, this is defined as the professionals’ personal “goodwill.” It is an established value of reputation and medical license, and it cannot be divided as community property in a divorce. What can be divided is the business or commercial goodwill.
Our attorneys examine and separate these values on the path to resolution with our clients. We account for the financial stability of the practice, the value of partnership shares, partners’ contributions to the practice, tax obligations, business debt, growth and earning power, in addition to standard business assets. We also handle partnership disputes in conjunction with divorce cases.
