Dividing marital assets?We understand that divorce can be very difficult. There are many decisions to worry about, including the fate of the house. There are generally two options regarding the house - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divided, 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 joint real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other separation of assets. When the intended use of an appraisal is the division of assets, it requires a well-supported, authoritative document that can be supported in court.
