Divorce & Life-Partnership Dissolution

In cases of divorce or separation of common law spouses, the challenge is often the opposite of inheritance: the parties know the property "too well," leading to a loss of objectivity. While you are familiar with every corner of the home, it can be difficult to see its true market value through the lens of emotional history.

​

Frequently, one party feels a stronger connection to the asset—perhaps because they brought it into the relationship or invested unique resources into it. This often leads to "overvaluation" that is based on sentimental attachment rather than market data, turning the property's price into a point of emotional conflict rather than a factual financial figure.

​

Instead of relying on asking prices in public listings (which often fail to reflect the actual closing price) the appraiser determines what the market "really" says about your property. This involves a thorough review of similar transactions (comparables), reviewing acctual contracts and their terms to understand is reflected in the declared price, while analyzing refined professional parameters: unutilized building rights, planning status, and the necessary equalization and capitalization adjustments required to reach the most accurate and realistic figure.

​

Only after understanding these objective data points it is possible to see the full picture and determine exactly what is being divided.

 

Upon client's request, we also provide individualized tax planning for each party. The goal is to refine the "post-division" property's value for each side, rather than leaving the data in a vacuum without the specific personal and tax context of each individual.

 

By doing so, we provide a complete professional solution to the division issue, allowing you to move forward to your next chapter with confidence and transparency.
