Divorce vs. Property Division – What’s the Difference?

Here is a quick breakdown of each.

Divorce Appraisal

  • Needed for legal dissolution of marriage

  • Often court-ordered or attorney-driven

  • Typically focused on equitable distribution

Property Division Appraisal

  • Can apply to co-owners, family disputes, or separation without divorce

  • Often requested by parties to avoid legal escalation

  • Focused on accurate, agreed-upon value division

    I'm very pleased with the service provided by Authority Appraisals. We had James come out and look at a piece property for Estate purposes.
