Divorce Settlement Appraisals

Navigating a divorce involves many challenging decisions, and accurately determining the value of shared assets is crucial for a fair settlement.

With sensitivity, professionalism, and impartiality, our divorce appraisals provide clear, reliable valuations that support informed decision-making in this complex process.

What is a Divorce Appraisal?

A divorce appraisal is a professional assessment of a property’s market value, specifically conducted for use in divorce proceedings. This appraisal provides an unbiased valuation that can be used to determine the fair market value of any shared real estate assets, from family homes to investment properties. At Capital City Valuation, we approach each appraisal with the precision and expertise required to support property settlements and asset division. Our reports are prepared with thorough attention to detail, ensuring they meet court and legal standards, making them a trusted resource for attorneys and financial planners alike.

When Do You Need a Divorce Appraisal?

A divorce appraisal is often needed when:

• Dividing Real Estate Assets: If you and your spouse own a home or other real estate together, a professional appraisal gives both parties a fair starting point for dividing this property.

• Negotiating Buyouts: If one spouse wishes to retain ownership of the property, a divorce appraisal establishes an agreed-upon market value, providing a clear basis for buyout arrangements.

• Ensuring a Fair Settlement: Appraisals ensure both parties have a realistic view of the property’s value, helping prevent disputes and reaching a fair, balanced division of assets.

• Meeting Legal Requirements: In many divorce cases, an appraisal may be required by the court to determine the property’s value formally. Our appraisals are court-ready and meet all legal standards, providing an objective valuation that can be relied upon in proceedings.
