Splitting up marital assets?Finalizing a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options when it comes to the house - 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 would be wise to commission an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if you require an appraisal related to a divorce or other separation of assets.
