Dividing marital assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including who gets the house. There are generally two options regarding real estate - it can be put up for sale and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should commission an appraisal of the residence.An appraisal for divorce purposes requires a well-established, expert report that is defensible during a trial. When you order an appraisal from Northeastern Ohio Appraisal Services, you are assured the best in service with professional courtesy and well-supported conclusions.
