Splitting up assets?Settling a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options regarding common real estate - it can be put up for sale and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should order an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal related to a divorce or other division of assets. An appraisal for divorce purposes must have a well-established, authoritative value conclusion that can be supported during a trial.
