Dividing marital assets?We know that divorce is never easy. There are many issues to worry about, including the fate of the home. There are generally two options when discussing common real estate - 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 would be wise to order an appraisal of the shared real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal related to a divorce or other allocation of assets.
