Splitting up assets?Finalizing a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options when discussing real estate - it can be put on the market 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. When the purpose of an appraisal is the division of assets, it requires a well-supported, expert report that will hold up to a judge. When you order an appraisal from Westview Appraisal Services, you are assured the best in service with professional courtesy and top notch analysis. Working through the special conditions of a divorce situation is somewhat matter-of-fact for us.

We have a great deal of expertise working with everyone involved and are standing by to assist your needs. We create appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies. As a legal professional working with a divorce, your case's research regularly necessitates an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Often the divorce date may not be the same as the date you purchased the appraisal. We are familiar with the processes and what it means to develop a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value opinion that matches the date of divorce. For each divorce appraisal we are hired to do we remain conscious of the fact that they require prudence with the utmost care. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) means the highest amount of confidentiality, guaranteeing you the utmost discretion. |
