Assets - broken tea set! (6)
I believe the answer is:
estate
'assets' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'broken tea set' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tea'+'set'='teaset'
'teaset' anagrammed gives 'ESTATE'.
(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "The whole of a deceased person's assets" , "Property and possessions of the deceased" , "Lands" , "Possessions at the time of death" , "Scheme of new housing" .)
