Divorce Appraisals
Divorce is a painful process in which there are many decisions to be made, including who’s staying, who’s going, and what’s going to happen to the property.
LaPlatte Appraisals specializes in the equitable dissolution of marital assets and can help you get through this difficult process in the most efficient manner possible. Obtaining accurate and credible real estate appraisals can make a substantial difference in a divorce settlement. Once a divorce appraisal has been ordered, our staff will begin to research recorded information regarding the subject property.
LaPlatte Appraisals maintains access to numerous specialized data bases in order to obtain property information and data. Our clients are homeowners, realtors, attorneys, and investors. Attorneys and accountants in Lee & Collier County Florida depend on our appraisals when ascertaining what real property is worth for divorces, estates, or other disputes requiring a value opinion. We have an abundance of expertise working with everyone involved and can readily handle your needs.
We create divorce appraisal reports that fulfill the requirements of the courts and various agencies. We offer high-quality divorce appraisal services in a timely and cost-effective manner. For legal professionals handling a divorce, your case’s material facts customarily require an appraisal to determine market value for the real estate involved. Often the divorce date may not be the same as the date you requested the appraisal. We’re experienced with the procedures and what it takes to complete a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate corresponding to the date of divorce.
We work on many divorce appraisals, and we understand that they need to be handled with the utmost care. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, guaranteeing you the utmost discretion.
