The Marital Residence: A Complex Financial Asset
In the article "Thinking About Settlements: Should Retirement Plans Be Discounted for Taxes?" published in the June issue of <i>New York Family Law Monthly</i>, I explained that retirement plans are complex assets, comprised of both tax-deferred (asset) and taxable (liability) components. Because of this complexity, I explained that the true value of these assets is context-dependent and closely tied to the financial situation of the ultimate owner.
