Dividing marital assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two alternatives - 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 order an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if you require an appraisal related to a divorce or other allocation of assets.
