Attorney Practice Standards for Property Exhibits

Family law attorneys prepare property exhibits following strict local court formatting rules. Exhibits must be clear, legible, and easy for a judge or magistrate to digest quickly.

Standard Court Exhibit Structure

A professional attorney property exhibit consists of three main components:

  • Summary Cover Sheet: High-level financial table displaying total asset values, total debt values, net awards per party, and the final draft equalization amount.
  • Itemized Asset Schedule: Detailed numbered list of items with descriptions, FMVs, and party distribution columns.
  • Itemized Debt Schedule: List of all community liabilities, creditor names, account numbers, and assigned debt responsibility.
