Dividing marital assets?We understand that divorce is a painful process. There are countless issues looming, including the status of the house. There are generally two alternatives regarding 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 should get an appraisal of the mutual real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other division of assets. When the purpose of an appraisal is a couple splitting up, it requires a well-established, professional value conclusion that will hold up in court. Copulos And Associates LLC pledges to give you an exceptional level of service with professional courtesy and well-supported conclusions. We understand how to handle the delicate needs of a divorce situation. Attorneys in NY and accountants depend on our opinions when figuring out real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes depending on a value opinion. We have a great deal of expertise dealing with all the parties involved and are ready to assist with your needs. We provide appraisal documents that fulfill the requirements of the courts and various agencies. For lawyers dealing with a divorce, your case's evidence typically necessitates an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Many times the divorce date can be different from the date you purchased the appraisal. We're accustomed to the methods and all that it takes to perform a retroactive appraisal that has an effective date and Fair Market Value opinion matching the date of divorce. We handle a reasonable number of divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they need to be handled with total professionalism. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) dictates confidentiality, resulting in the utmost discretion. |
