Splitting up assets?We know that divorce is a painful process. There are numerous issues to worry about, including what to do with the shared residence. There are generally two alternatives when it comes to common real estate - it can be put up for sale and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to get an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other allocation of assets. An appraisal for the purpose of assent division should include a well-supported, professional document that is defensible during a trial. Michael C.
