Huettner Capital is a residential and commercial real estate lender. We handle all types of financing and specialize in complex transactions.

These situations typically involve self-employment, multiple properties, wealth management, investment property, relocation, and divorce to name a few. However, most people do not realize how frequently their situation is too complex for the typical lender to handle effectively.

Getting these loans done is not the problem. The problem is the people getting most borrower’s their loans. They simply have far too little knowledge and experience to get anything other than the cookie cutter loan done in less than several months. This is the reason why the traditional loan origination process just doesn’t work any more.

Creating a team and new loan process that works with full documentation loans, especially the complex ones, was the whole point in starting Huettner Capital from the very beginning. Welcome to the solution!

10 Important Documents… You Need To Prepare For Divorce

Clients thinking about divorce will often contact me with questions about refinancing their marital home or buying a new one after a divorce. While I can answer some of their loan questions, they usually don’t have much documentation for their current finances and don’t know where to start. Here are the documents you need to start preparing for a possible divorce:

Financial Statement – Summary of all assets and liabilities
Credit Report – To show all individual and joint accounts
Tax Returns – Personal and business tax returns with W-2s, 1099s, and K-1s
Asset Statements – Bank/Investment statements including checking, savings, CDs, money markets, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement accounts, and pensions
Debt Statements – Personal and business debt including notes and monthly
Employment Benefits – Plan details for any medical/dental, life, 401K/pension, etc.
Insurance Policies – Details for any life/health/property policies, including cost, coverage, and beneficiaries
Credit Card Statements – These can tell how much you really spend each month
Household Budgets – One for your current expenses and for your future expenses
Property Documents – Titles/Deeds, notes, monthly statements, appraisals, and closing documents for real estate, cars, boats, RVs, etc.

Ideally, you want to assemble and organize all of these documents going back 5 years. However, that can be difficult when many of the accounts may be in only one spouse’s name or you lived together before getting married. As a result, you often can’t get all of these items on your own.

Putting all of this documentation together will help you and your divorce professionals:

Calculate each of your income
List, value, and classify different asset types
Identify marital property and separate property
Detail all individual and joint debt
Document your living expenses
Find hidden assets
Reach an equitable settlement for all parties

The above list is just an initial list and everyone’s situation will have different requirements. The point is you need to start somewhere and this list will help you figure out what else you need.
