Dividing marital assets?We realize that divorce can be very difficult. There are countless choices that have to be settled, including what's going to happen to the shared residence. There are generally two options when discussing common 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 find it in their best interest to get an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other division of assets. An appraisal for the purpose of assent division should include a well-supported, authoritative report that will hold up to a judge. When you order an appraisal from BK Appraisal Services, you are assured the best in service with courtesy and well-supported conclusions. Handling the special conditions of a divorce situation is not a problem for us. Attorneys in VA as well as accountants rely on our opinions when figuring out real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes where it is material. We have a lot of expertise dealing with all the parties involved and can readily handle your needs. We provide appraisal reports for courts or various agencies that meet or exceed their requirements. For attorneys representing a client in a divorce, your case's evidence frequently requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Often the divorce date differs from the date you ordered the appraisal. We're experienced with the techniques and requirements mandatory to perform a retroactive appraisal that has an effective date and Fair Market Value conclusion matching the date of divorce. We handle many divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they require prudence with the utmost care. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) compels us to keep the highest degree of confidentiality, ensuring the utmost discretion. |
