Splitting up assets?Settling a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two alternatives when it comes to common real estate - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to order an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if you require an appraisal related to a divorce or other allocation of assets. An appraisal for divorce purposes must have a well-supported, authoritative report that is defensible in court.
