Common questions
Divorce appraisal FAQs
Can one appraiser work for both parties?
An appraiser must remain impartial. Whether both parties will rely on one appraisal is a decision for the parties and their legal advisors; the engagement should clearly identify the client and intended users.
Do you provide retrospective appraisals?
Yes. When appropriate records and market evidence are available, an appraisal can develop an opinion of value as of a prior effective date specified for the assignment.
Will you communicate with my attorney?
Yes, when authorized and consistent with the appraisal assignment’s confidentiality requirements. We clarify communication and report-distribution expectations at engagement.
Can you guarantee a particular value?
No. The appraiser’s role is to develop an independent, unbiased opinion supported by the available market evidence.
