No one wants to go through a divorce, but when it does happen, there's a need to be
both senstive and rational about the next steps.
An inaccurate appraisal procured and used for the purpose of division of real estate
property after divorce in New York could cost you money, possibly a large sum of money.
Don't rely on the on the appraisal from the opposing counsel or martial partner. The appraiser
works for that person, and the appraisal legally belongs to the one who pays the fee.
Hire a competent appraiser for yourself to protect your interest.
If the values are roughly similar, you have documentation and substantiation;
If the values are dissimilar, you have material to offset the authority of a single appraiser's
work.
In effect, you getting an appraisal is protecting BOTH parties.
