Splitting up marital assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options regarding the house - 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 should order an appraisal of the common real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other division of assets. An appraisal for the purpose of assent division needs a well-established, professional value conclusion that will hold up during a trial. When you order an appraisal from Mike Chaves Appraisals, you are assured the best in service with courtesy and the highest quality appraisal. We also know how to care for the delicate needs of a divorce situation. CA attorneys as well as accountants rely on our appraisals when ascertaining what the real property is worth for estates, divorces, or other disputes where it is crucial. We have a great deal of expertise dealing with all the parties involved and are ready to assist with your needs. We submit appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies. For legal professionals working with a divorce, your case's evidence often requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Many times the divorce date may not be the same as the date you requested the appraisal. We're experienced with the techniques and requirements mandatory to complete a retroactive appraisal that has an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate corresponding to the date of divorce. We handle many divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they need to be handled with total professionalism. The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) contains an ethics provision which binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the utmost discretion. |
