How We Add Value to Your Legal Practice With:

Retirement Benefits Valuation

Gray Divorces often include substantial retirement assets such as pensions and annuities, which require precise valuation for equitable division. Our actuarial team:

  • Calculates the present value of defined benefit pension plans, including mortality rates, discount rates, and plan specifics
  • Evaluates Social Security benefits for a comprehensive financial perspective, even though they may not be divisible
  • Provides reliable, data-driven evidence to support equitable settlements

Long-Term Financial Projections

Older clients have less time to recover financially post-divorce. Our actuarial experts can provide you with:

  • Projections for the long-term sustainability of proposed settlements
  • Analyses of how life expectancy, inflation, and interest rates impact financial stability
  • Insights to ensure your clients’ settlements support their future security

Division of Complex Assets

Life insurance policies and annuities play a crucial role in the financial planning of older couples. We streamline evaluation of assets to help you present clear and compelling evidence in court or negotiations with:

  • Calculations of present and future values, life expectancy considerations, interest rates, and policy terms
  • Estimates for future healthcare costs, which will help you negotiate spousal support or asset divisions

Estate and Legacy Planning

Divorce often impacts estate plans, trusts, and inheritance expectations. We will:

  • Reassess estate plans to account for new financial realities
  • Evaluate future inheritances and trust distributions to ensure equitable adjustments

Tax Implications

Dividing assets, alimony, and retirement withdrawals can have significant tax consequences. We can help you:

  • Model potential tax scenarios to avoid unexpected burdens for your clients
  • Present strategies for tax-efficient settlements

Longevity risk can be a critical consideration in Gray Divorce. Let us:

  • Ensure financial arrangements are sustainable over both parties’ lifetimes
  • Provide expert projections to mitigate the risk of outliving assets
