Dividing marital assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options when discussing real estate - it can be put up for sale and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to get an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if you require an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other allocation of assets.
