Dividing assets?We realize that divorce can be very difficult. There are many issues that have to be settled, including what happens to the shared residence. There are generally two options when it comes to the shared residence - it can be put up for sale 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 for the purposes of a divorce or other division of assets. An appraisal for the purpose of assent division should include a well-established, authoritative document that can be supported in court. When you order an appraisal from Leigh B.
