janet F.
I can't say enough about Kathleen Mangan and her team. I had a very difficult divorce situation which included needing a protection order and from the first moment I contacted Kathleen and her team, my anxiety was reduced. Not only did it take a fraction of the time I expected it to, the communication I received the entire time was top notch. She empowered me to be strong and do what was necessary to cross the finish line successfully while at the same time ensuring my safety. If you need an attorney who will ensure your best interests are at the forefront, who will take the time to educate you along the way on what your responsibility is and who truly has the expertise needed to successfully navigate the judicial system requirements effectively, then you want Kathleen and her team. Worth every penny and they will be on my list of my things to be thankful for every year from this point on! I wish they had a scale that went higher than 5 star here - Kathleen and her team more than exceeded my expectations and I would give them a million stars!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Janet! You were such a joy to work with and the entire staff adores you!

Need an Inheritance Protection from Divorce? We Can Help

Inheritances often hold significant sentimental and financial value. They may include family heirlooms, real estate, financial investments, or other assets. During a divorce, these assets could be subject to division between spouses unless proactive steps are taken to protect them.

Protecting Inherited Assets in Nevada

Nevada operates under a community property system, meaning that assets acquired during the marriage are typically considered community property and subject to equal division. However, inherited assets may be considered separate property and, therefore, not subject to equal division if certain conditions are met. Here are three key strategies:

  1. Maintain Separation: To protect your inheritance, it’s crucial to keep it separate from marital assets. Do not commingle inherited funds with joint accounts or use them for marital expenses.
  2. Documentation: Keep clear records and documentation that demonstrate the inheritance is separate property. This may include wills, trusts, or other legal documents.
  3. Pre- or Postnuptial Agreements: Consider entering into a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement that explicitly outlines the treatment of inherited assets in the event of divorce.
