Splitting up assets?Finalizing a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two choices regarding 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 order an appraisal of the common real estate. Contact us if you require an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other separation of assets.
