Detailed inventory of marital assets laid out on a professional desk

Service 02 — Thornbury

Every Asset Accounted For.
Every Liability on Record.

A thorough, sourced inventory of your marital assets and liabilities — structured to support equitable distribution discussions and legal proceedings.

What This Delivers

A Complete Picture of What You Own and What You Owe

Equitable distribution begins with a shared understanding of what's actually on the table. This service produces a detailed, sourced inventory of all marital assets and liabilities — real property, investment and retirement accounts, business interests, and outstanding debts — with current values, ownership details, and supporting documentation for each entry.

What you receive is a structured record that both sides and their legal teams can work from. One that reduces the room for dispute, supports productive discussions, and gives the process a factual foundation to stand on.

Outcome

A Shared Starting Point

An agreed record of what exists — removing ambiguity before distribution discussions begin.

Outcome

Sourced and Defensible

Every figure traced to supporting documentation — ready for scrutiny from attorneys and courts.

Outcome

Organized for Use

A structured format that attorneys and financial advisors can navigate and work from directly.

Understanding the Challenge

When a Marriage Ends, the Financial Picture Is Rarely Simple

Marital assets accumulated over years — or decades — don't come pre-catalogued. Properties, pension funds, investment portfolios, jointly held business interests, personal savings, shared debts: each one needs to be identified, valued, and documented before any meaningful discussion about distribution can take place.

Without a proper inventory, proceedings can stall on the basic question of what's actually there. Disputes arise not always because of disagreement, but because the picture is incomplete. Having a thorough, sourced record changes the dynamic of the entire process.

Complex asset types

Retirement funds, business interests, and investment accounts each require different documentation approaches and valuation methods.

Incomplete records

Statements, deeds, account summaries, and loan agreements are rarely all in one place — and some may need to be formally requested.

Valuation questions

Current values need to be established for each item — not estimated, but sourced — so the inventory holds up to scrutiny.

Ownership details matter

Joint, sole, and beneficial ownership distinctions affect how assets are treated in proceedings — and they need to be clearly documented.

Our Approach

Thorough Cataloging, Built for Legal and Financial Use

Thornbury's Marital Asset & Liability Inventory service documents every item in the marital estate — with current values, ownership classification, and supporting source documentation. Each entry is recorded in a format that attorneys, financial advisors, and courts can use directly.

We work methodically through each category of asset and liability, guiding you through the gathering process and handling all organization and formatting.

Real Property

Primary residences, additional properties, and land holdings — documented with title information, current valuations, and mortgage details.

Investment & Savings Accounts

Brokerage accounts, mutual funds, savings and cash deposits — with current balances and account ownership details.

Retirement Funds

Pension plans, 401(k)s, IRAs, and equivalent schemes — with current values, plan details, and beneficiary records where applicable.

Business Interests

Ownership stakes, partnership shares, and directorship interests — documented with available valuation information and supporting records.

Outstanding Debts & Liabilities

Mortgages, personal loans, credit lines, and other obligations — with current balances, interest rates, and ownership information.

Other Marital Assets

Vehicles, significant personal property, and other items forming part of the marital estate — recorded where relevant to proceedings.

Working Together

A Methodical Process That Works Around You

An asset inventory can feel daunting when you consider the breadth of what needs to be documented. The process is designed to break it into manageable stages — and to handle the detail work on your behalf.

01

Scoping the Estate

We begin by mapping out the categories of assets and liabilities that apply to your situation — so we know exactly what needs to be covered before collection begins.

02

Guided Document Gathering

We provide a structured checklist for each category and walk you through what's needed. Where records are difficult to locate or obtain, we help identify the right approach.

03

Cataloging and Valuation

Each asset and liability is documented with current values drawn from source materials, ownership details, and supporting references — organized category by category.

04

Final Review and Delivery

The completed inventory is reviewed for completeness before delivery. You receive a structured, well-organized document ready for attorney and court use.

Our Methodology

Precision That Holds Up to Scrutiny

An inventory that will be used in legal proceedings needs to be more than a list. Every entry needs a source, a current value, and an ownership classification. Our methodology ensures exactly that — producing a document that is both comprehensive and defensible.

Standard

Sourced Values Only

Valuations are drawn from actual source documents — statements, appraisals, official records. We don't estimate or approximate.

Standard

Ownership Detail

Every item is classified by ownership type — joint, sole, or beneficial — with notes on relevant title or registration details.

Standard

Nothing Overlooked

Before delivery, the inventory is reviewed against the scope we established at the outset to confirm every relevant item has been captured.

Typical Timeline

Most inventories are completed within two to four weeks of source material receipt, depending on the complexity and scope of the estate. We discuss your timeline during the initial consultation and plan the work accordingly.

Our Commitment

We Stand Behind the Completeness of Our Work

If any item covered by the agreed scope is missing or requires correction after delivery — something we should have addressed — we revise it without additional charge. The inventory should be complete when it leaves us.

We begin every engagement with a no-cost consultation. You can discuss your situation in full and understand exactly what the inventory will involve before making any decision to proceed.

Revision Included

Any gap in scope on our side — addressed without additional cost.

Handled Discreetly

Every detail of your financial position is treated with full professional confidentiality.

No-Obligation Consultation

Understand the full scope before you decide. No commitment required.
