Matrimonial Property Regime, Divorce & Trusts
I had the honour to be one of the moderators at the STEP Israel Branch Webinar on the subject “Matrimonial Property Regime, Divorce & Trust”.
We examined with five experts from Israel, UK, USA, France and Germany the different matrimonial property regimes, what assets are considered marital assets, whether marital assets can be freely transferred during marriage and how they will be divided upon divorce. We stressed the importance of the conclusions of prenups especially in case of a relocation of the couple. Finally we explored the questions how assets held in a trust are to be treated in divorce proceedings in the different jurisdictions and whether there is something like a “divorce proof trust”.
