Dividing assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options when discussing the shared residence - it can be put on the market and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should order an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if you require an appraisal related to a divorce or other division of assets.
