New Zealand law
Valuation date under the Property (Relationships) Act 1976
The date of separation is often the key valuation date for dividing relationship property. Establishing that date accurately - and valuing crypto holdings as at that date - is essential for a fair division under the Act.
Crypto volatility and why it matters
Cryptocurrency prices can move sharply between separation and settlement. Accurate point-in-time valuation at the legally significant date - not an approximate current value - is required to avoid unfair outcomes for either party.
Court standards for expert valuation
Family Court and High Court require defensible expert valuation reports - transparent methodology, verified data sources, documented assumptions, and conclusions that can be explained clearly under cross-examination.
NFTs and DeFi positions
Illiquid tokens, NFT collections, and DeFi positions require specialist valuation approaches. We apply appropriate methodologies for non-standard assets and document limitations so counsel and the court understand what the evidence supports.
