Splitting up assets?We know that divorce can be very difficult. There are many decisions looming, including what's going to happen to the house. There are generally two choices when discussing real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to commission an appraisal of the common real estate.
