It’s important to understand why a divorce appraisal is necessary before moving forward with one. In the state of Washington, any property owned by one or both parties prior to the marriage must be accounted for separately from any assets acquired during the duration of it. This ensures that each person retains their own separate rights over the property they owned before marriage when it comes time to divide their assets post-divorce. Thus, if a piece of property was owned by one party prior to marriage but appreciated significantly during the marriage due to renovations or other factors, a divorce appraisal will provide an accurate assessment of the true value at present day and help determine how much should be attributed back to that original owner in asset division proceedings.
Divorce appraisals also help improve trust between all parties involved in a divorce settlement as it allows for clear transparency about all assets and prevents anyone from feeling like they’re not being treated fairly.
