NEVADA CITY, Calif. February 3, 2020 – The Nevada County Superior Court Law Library is holding a Noon Time Legal Seminar: Divorce, Remarriage, And Retirement Assets on Tuesday, Feb. 18th from noon to 1:00 pm.
Presented by Bob Blum and Jennifer Ross Berrian, Attorneys
The rate of divorce and remarriage for boomers and GenX is increasing, and often there are substantial retirement assets held in 401(k)s, IRAs, pensions, life insurance and other special tax-favored accounts. Unfortunately, these assets can go to the “wrong” person without proper legal attention. An ex-spouse can get money that was intended for the new spouse, even when everyone, including the courts, agree that in fairness, the new spouse should get the money. A new spouse can get the life insurance that was intended for the kids. The seminar will cover these and similar issues and suggest practical ways to avoid problems. It also will cover best practices in working with retirement plans to quickly and easily get the desired outcome.
