Protecting Assets

Protecting Assets and Building Up Your Financial Wealth

This field is defined by the legal environment in which Quebecers live. Here, our financial services firm will focus on the identity, legal aspects and obligations of all parties.

Preserving and building up your financial assets are 2 aspects greatly impacted by this environment.

Here, we’ll look at matrimonial property regimes, marital status and asset protection.

Legal Aspects in the Event of Separation

When a separation occurs, the situation initially established by the 2 parties can be extremely complex. Depending on the agreement established at the start of your life together, it’s important to be aware of the impact of your matrimonial situation.

In the event of a separation, you have rights, but also obligations towards your partner. With this in mind, Planico Financial Services will be delighted to help you make sense of your situation. Your marital status or common-law status are just some of the aspects we’ll look at.

Making Your Money Grow

Within the Framework of Marriage

When you choose partnership of acquests as your marriage regime, you should be aware that any assets you acquire during the union will be shared equally between you and your spouse at the time of separation.

When you opt for the separation of property marriage regime, the legal aspects are different. All you have to do is divide the family assets.

Together we’ll be able to establish a strategy tailored to your objectives and determine which of the programs is best suited to you and your goals.

Legal Aspects for Common-Law Spouses

If you’re not married and have de facto spousal status, Quebec law does not allow one of the partners to access the assets held by the other, nor does it give access to alimony (if you have children).

In practice, however, the situation is a little more complex. During our analysis, we’ll take care to study every detail of your status in order to guide you towards the best possible solutions.

Legal Aspects: Marital Status

Planico Financial Services will work with you to analyze your personal and family situation and explain the ins and outs of your situation. If necessary, we’ll refer you to professionals such as a notary or lawyer. In complex cases, it’s up to these professionals to explain the law (and your options) and draw up the necessary legal documents for your situation.

The Planico financial planning firm will be happy to advise you on the best course of action for your situation.

Family Wealth

For successful financial planning, we will also analyze your family assets. Our task at this level will be to take stock of all the assets you have acquired during your marriage and explain how they will devolve in the event of divorce.

If you are a Canadian resident in Quebec, this devolution must take place in accordance with the Civil Code of Quebec.

Quebec law has put in place an arsenal that allows you to benefit from the assistance of a family mediator, or to go through the courts (in the event of a disagreement). In the latter case, the help of a lawyer is essential.

The Planico financial planning services firm will support you in this approach.
