Divorce
Appraisals
Finalizing a divorce
involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house"? There are generally
two options regarding the house - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or
one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties
should order an appraisal of the residence. Divorce appraisals require a well
supported, professional appraisal that is defensible in court. When you order
an appraisal from us, you are assured that you will get the best in professional
service, courtesy, and the highest quality appraisal. We also know how to handle
the sensitive needs of a divorce situation. Attorneys
and Accountants rely on our values when calculating real property values for estates,
divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. We
understand their needs and are used to dealing with all parties involved. We provide
appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies. As
an attorney handling a divorce, your needs oftentimes include an appraisal to
establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Often the
divorce date differs from the date you order the appraisal. We are familiar with
the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with
an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of divorce.
The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
(USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.
