Splitting up assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two alternatives when it comes to real estate - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to order an appraisal of the residence. Contact us Toussaint Appraisals can assist if you need an appraisal related to a divorce or other separation of assets.
