Dividing marital assets?We understand that divorce is never easy. There are many issues that have to be resolved, including what to do with the house. There are generally two choices regarding common real estate - 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 would be wise to commission an appraisal of the common real estate. Contact us if you require an appraisal related to a divorce or other allocation of assets. A divorce appraisal must have a well-supported, expert value conclusion that is defensible to a judge.
