Splitting up assets?We realize that divorce is never easy. There are numerous issues looming, including what happens to the house. There are generally two choices regarding common real estate - it can be put up for sale 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 residence.
