Dividing marital assets?We understand that divorce is never easy. There are many issues that have to be settled, including what's going to happen to the shared residence. There are generally two alternatives regarding real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to get an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other separation of assets. An appraisal for the purpose of assent division requires a well-established, authoritative report that will hold up during a trial. BTR Appraisal Services pledges to give you the very best in service with professional courtesy and well-supported conclusions. Working through the particular conditions of a divorce situation is somewhat matter-of-fact for us. Attorneys in DE and accountants rely on our values when calculating what the real property is worth for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value opinion. We have an abundance of expertise dealing with all the parties involved and are ready to assist with your needs. We submit appraisal documents for courts or various agencies that meet or exceed their requirements. For lawyers representing a client in a divorce, your case's research regularly requires an appraisal to ascertain fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Many times the divorce date can be different from the date you ordered the appraisal. We're versed in the methods and what it means to complete a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value opinion matching the date of divorce. We work on a reasonable number of divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they need to be handled with the utmost care. The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) contains an ethics provision which means the highest amount of confidentiality, guaranteeing you the utmost discretion. |
