Getting Divorced?
Divorce appraisals and real estate disputes involve many decisions, including "Who gets the real property"? In a divorce there are generally two options regarding disposition of the property - 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 real estate as of the date of separation.
Preparing an appraisal for divorce settlement requires a real estate expert that can support a defensible opinion in court. Just like choosing a doctor, attorney at law, accountant, CPA, or estate planning professional it is wise to review the qualifications of a the appraiser when the divorce involves residential, industrial or commercial real estate.
It is strongly recommended by most professionals in a divorce that before any real estate settlement agreement is finalized, the parties seek consultation with a tax attorney or tax professional to review the real estate tax consequences in New York dissolution of marriage.
