Dividing marital assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options when it comes to the house - it can be put on the market 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 joint real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal related to a divorce or other separation of assets.
