Dividing assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two alternatives regarding the house - it can be put up for sale and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should commission an appraisal of the joint real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal related to a divorce or other division of assets. An appraisal for divorce purposes should include a well-supported, expert report that can be supported in court.
