Dividing marital assets?We realize that divorce can be very difficult. There are many choices to worry about, including the fate of the shared residence. There are generally two alternatives when discussing real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to commission an appraisal of the joint real estate. Contact us if you require an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other allocation of assets. When the intended use of an appraisal is the division of assets, it should include a well-established, professional document that is defensible in court. When you order an appraisal from Jonathan Waldie , you are assured the best in service with professional courtesy and top notch analysis.
