Divorce Appraisals in the state of WA by Christine SchafferWe realize that divorce is a painful process. There are many decisions to worry about, including what happens to the house. There are generally two options regarding the shared residence - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should order an appraisal of the shared real estate. Contact us if you require an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other division of assets.
