Objective:
The financial stakes of divorces can be high in Hong Kong resulting in families taking steps to reduce the risk of having their wealth from being significantly reduced. All too often, families lose out due to a failure to plan early and effectively. Through the use of specific case studies, Anisha Ramanathan and Charmaine Leung, Senior Associates of Withers Hong Kong, will be looking at trusts with a discussion about the latest family trust reported cases. The complications in dealing with divorce cases, such as on discovery, third parties' resources, trust and enforcement will also be explored together with an explanation on how to obtain proper financial disclosure during a divorce. They will examine other issues like what one needs to be aware of in order to protect one's assets in case of unforeseen circumstances and also discuss the New Practice Direction SL10.4.
