Dividing assets?We understand that divorce can be very difficult. There are numerous choices looming, including what's going to happen to the house. There are generally two options when discussing common real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to order an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other separation of assets. When the intended use of an appraisal is a divorce settlement, it should include a well-established, professional document that can be supported in court. Elliott Real Estate Appraisals guarantees the very best in service with courtesy and well-supported conclusions. Through experience and education, we've learned how to provide for the delicate needs of a divorce situation. TX attorneys as well as accountants depend on our appraisals when ascertaining what the real property is worth for estates, divorces, or other disputes where it is material. We have a lot of expertise dealing with all the parties involved and are ready to assist with your needs. We provide appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies. For legal professionals representing a client in a divorce, your case's research often requires an appraisal to determine fair market value for the residential real estate involved. A great deal of the time the divorce date may not be the same as the date you purchased the appraisal. We're comfortable with the techniques and what it entails to develop a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of divorce. For each divorce appraisal we are hired to do we remain cognizant of the fact that they need to be handled with total professionalism. The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) contains an ethics provision which compels us to keep the highest degree of confidentiality, resulting in the utmost discretion. |
