Dividing assets?We know that divorce is a painful process. There are countless choices looming, including the status of the shared residence. There are generally two options when discussing the shared residence - 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 commission an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if you require an appraisal related to a divorce or other separation of assets. When the reason for an appraisal is the division of assets, it must have a well-established, expert value conclusion that will hold up in court.
