A professional home appraisal ensures fair asset division during separation by determining the property’s true market value

During divorce proceedings, a certified home appraisal plays a crucial role in establishing the accurate value of what is often the couple’s largest shared asset. This independent assessment helps prevent disputes and ensures equitable distribution of property value.

A professional appraisal provides several key benefits:

• Creates a legally defensible valuation that courts and lawyers can rely upon
• Eliminates potential conflicts over the property’s worth between separating spouses
• Accounts for current market conditions, recent renovations, and property defects
• Helps determine appropriate buyout amounts if one party wishes to keep the home
• Supports fair calculation of each party’s share in the matrimonial property division
