Preparing for separation doesn’t mean making moves before your partner does. Moving funds, changing structures or trying to lock in arrangements early can create more problems than they solve. Preparing well means knowing: + what needs attention now + what information should be preserved + which decisions require advice + and what can wait. The Before Separation Checklist gives executives, business owners and families with assets a practical guide to preparing before separation is raised — without making premature financial, business or personal decisions.
