Working on a divorce? Smeenge And Associates has the experience you're looking for.We realize that divorce can be very difficult. There are numerous decisions that have to be resolved, including the status of the home. There are generally two options when discussing common 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 would be wise to order an appraisal of the shared real estate. Contact us if you require an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other separation of assets. When the intended use of an appraisal is a divorce settlement, it needs a well-established, expert report that is defensible in court. Smeenge And Associates guarantees an exceptional level of service with courtesy and the highest quality appraisal. We understand how to care for the prickly needs of a divorce situation. Attorneys in MI as well as accountants depend on our appraisals when determining what the real property is worth for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value opinion. We have a great deal of expertise working with everyone involved and are ready to assist with your needs. We submit appraisal documents that fulfill the requirements of the courts and various agencies. As an attorney dealing with a divorce, your case's research typically requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. A lot of the time the divorce date may not be the same as the date you ordered the appraisal. We're comfortable with the methods and what it takes to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value conclusion that matches the date of divorce. We handle a reasonable number of divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they require prudence 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. |
