When You Might Need a Divorce Settlement Appraisal

During a divorce, there are several instances when a real estate appraisal might be required:

  1. Dividing Property Equitably: When deciding how to divide assets, a current appraisal helps determine the fair market value of the property.

  2. Selling the Family Home: If you and your spouse decide to sell the home, an appraisal helps set a fair listing price.

  3. One Party Buying Out the Other: If one spouse wants to keep the home, an appraisal is needed to determine how much to pay the other party for their share of the equity.

  4. Resolving Disputes: In some cases, disputes arise over property value. An independent appraisal provides a neutral, third-party opinion.
