Dividing assets?We know that divorce can be very difficult. There are many issues that have to be resolved, including what happens to the house. There are generally two choices when it comes to real estate - it can be sold 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 order an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if you require an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other allocation of assets. A divorce appraisal should include a well-established, authoritative report that can be supported in court.
