Post-Dissolution Disputes Involving Neglected Assets and Liabilities

Those of us who practice a steady diet of family law realize, however, that entry of the decree means the divorce process is over for the client, but the attorney is not yet done with the case.

In addition to the tasks typically allocated to the attorney, there are tasks that could be ' and often should be ' allocated to the client: notifying title insurance companies that title to real property has passed; notifying creditors to close accounts and/or remove the other spouse's name; transferring title on automobiles and other vehicles; changing names on bank accounts and other accounts; changing beneficiaries on life insurance policies, retirement accounts and other assets; and removing the other spouse as a named insured on homeowner's and auto insurance policies.
