Dividing assets?We understand that divorce is never easy. There are countless choices that have to be settled, including what to do with the home. There are generally two choices regarding the shared residence - 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 commission an appraisal of the common real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other separation of assets. A divorce appraisal must have a well-supported, expert report that can be supported in court.
