Splitting up assets?Settling a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two choices when discussing the shared residence - 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 find it in their best interest to get an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal related to a divorce or other division of assets.
