Dividing marital assets?We know that divorce is a painful process. There are countless issues that have to be resolved, including the status of the house. There are generally two options when discussing common real estate - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to commission an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if you require an appraisal related to a divorce or other separation of assets. A divorce appraisal requires a well-supported, expert document that is defensible to a judge.
