Splitting up assets?We understand that divorce is never easy. There are many choices looming, including what happens to the home. There are generally two alternatives regarding common real estate - 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 should get an appraisal of the mutual real estate. Contact us if you require an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other allocation of assets.
