Splitting up assets?We realize that divorce is a painful process. There are numerous choices that have to be finalized, including what to do with the house. There are generally two options regarding common real estate - 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 should get an appraisal of the joint real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other allocation of assets.
