Splitting up assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two choices when discussing 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 related to a divorce or other division of assets.
