![]() Handling a divorce? Goodfellow Appraisal Co. has the expertise you need.Finalizing a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options regarding the house - it can be sold and the proceeds split, 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 separation of assets. When the intended use of an appraisal is the division of assets, it should include a well-established, expert document that will hold up in court. Goodfellow Appraisal Co. pledges to give you an exceptional level of service with professional courtesy and well-supported conclusions. Working through the special needs of a divorce situation is not a problem for us. Attorneys in VT and accountants depend on our appraisals when calculating what the real property is worth for estates, divorces, or other disputes needing a value opinion. We have a lot of expertise working with everyone involved and can readily handle your needs. We submit appraisal documents that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies. For attorneys representing a client in a divorce, your case's research frequently necessitates an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Many times the divorce date may not be the same as the date you purchased the appraisal. We're experienced with the methods and what it means to develop a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of divorce. For each divorce appraisal we perform we keep in mind that they need to be handled delicately. The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) contains an ethics provision which compels us to keep the highest degree of confidentiality, ensuring the utmost discretion. |
