Splitting up assets?We realize that divorce is never easy. There are countless decisions to worry about, including what to do with the home. There are generally two choices when it comes to the shared residence - it can be sold and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to get an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other division of assets.
