Real Estate Division in Divorce

There are many types of property that married couples might own as part of their community property estate. In most divorce cases, the primary residence needs to be divided. Depending on the situation, a married couple may also own investment real estate, a vacation or second home, or even time-share properties. Each of these assets presents unique valuation and division issues in a divorce.

An experienced divorce attorney can help divorcing couples determine the best and fairest way to go about splitting real estate in a divorce. Often, selling the property and dividing the funds between the two parties is the easiest way, but if one of both individuals want possession of a property, then the matter must be decided by a judge or through the arbitration process, with one of the key issues being the fair market value of the property.
