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 divided, 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 you require an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other allocation of assets.
