Splitting up assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options when it comes to the shared residence - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should commission an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other allocation of assets.
