Divorce settlement
Hi all -
I am translating a divorce settlement from Spanish (Lat. Am.) and am uncertain as to how best to translate
the phrase "bienes objetos de liquidación" as it appears in the following context:
...la union conyugal no procrearon hijos, and que no adquirieron bienes objetos de liquidación.
Would it be something like "liquidatable assets"?
Thanks for any help offered!

assets that require liquidation
Is what it means in this context, or "assets that need to be liquidated".
Some assets may have to be liquidated during divorce to ensure that both spouses receive a fair and equitable split of the property. The process varies depending on state law, and it should be completed under court supervision to avoid illegally transferring an asset.

--------------------------------------------------
For me, "susceptible to" sounds wrong, as it suggests that the property is "vulnerable to" liquidation, and in the case of bankruptcy (see Robin's reference), it certainly does mean "vulnerable to", i.e., the property of a bankrupt's wife is "vulnerable to liquidation". However, here, it simply refers to property that would need to be liquidated for the spouses to divide the marital property.
In fact, depending on how the rest of the sentence is worded, I'd change my entry to "assets that would/might need liquidating".

Note from asker:
| Hi Robert - I think that "assets that might need to be liquidated" is probably the best as per your idea that "some" as opposed to all assets, might need to be liquidated depending on the ultimate outcome of the case - which I was not privy to...! |
| For the ProZ glossary entry I am however going to simplify (and generalize) it to: "assets to be liquidated" especially since contexts can differ yet use the same phrase. |

property susceptible to liquidation
"suspectible to liquidation" is a more-general translation than Robert's "require liquidation", and it takes into account that in some Lat Am. juridictions (eg Chile) there is no legal requirement (= obligation) to liquidate any assets at all as part of divorce proceedings.

In the common-law states, typically only your wife's separate property is susceptible to liquidation.
