Divorce/Marital Separation Appraisals
Why Do You Need a Home Appraisal for Divorce?
​
During a marital separation or divorce, a professional home appraisal is often required to determine the fair market value of the property. This unbiased real estate valuation ensures equitable asset division and legal compliance in divorce proceedings.
​
When is a divorce home appraisal needed?
​
-
Asset Division – Ensures fair and accurate distribution of marital assets.
-
Spousal Buyout – Establishes a property value for one spouse to buy out the other.
-
Legal & Court Proceedings – Provides a court-admissible valuation report.
-
Date of Separation Valuation (Retrospective Appraisal) – Determines property value at the time of separation for legal and financial purposes.
AIC-certified divorce appraisals are typically the only valuations accepted by courts, lawyers, and financial institutions.
​
Types of Divorce Appraisals
​
There are two primary types of divorce property valuations:
​
-
Current Market Value Appraisal – Determines the property’s value based on today’s real estate market.
-
Retrospective Appraisal (Date of Separation Value) – Establishes the historical property value as of the separation date, as required for legal agreements and financial settlements.
Your divorce lawyer or mediator will advise which appraisal is required. If a retrospective appraisal is needed, the appraiser will analyze historical real estate market conditions and comparable property sales.
