Dividing assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two alternatives when it comes to the house - it can be sold 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 common real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other separation of assets.
