Dispute Settlement Appraisal

Helping You Find Stability and Clarity in Difficult Times

Dispute Settlement Appraisals

Divorce and family disputes can be complex and emotionally challenging, particularly when real estate is involved. Questions about the family home or other jointly owned property often carry significant financial and personal implications. At Appraisal Resources, Ltd., we provide clear, independent appraisals that help bring objectivity and stability to these situations.

Our role is to deliver reliable, impartial valuations that all parties can trust. Whether the matter involves asset division, a buyout, or clarification of property value, our appraisals are developed using recognized methodology and professional standards—allowing informed decisions to be made with confidence.

Objective Valuations for Fair Resolution

Our appraisals are designed to be well-supported and defensible, providing a credible foundation for negotiations, settlements, or court proceedings. For parties seeking a cooperative approach, a single, neutral appraisal can reduce conflict, avoid competing opinions of value, and often lead to more efficient resolutions.

By combining professional objectivity with clear communication, we help attorneys, families, and advisors navigate property-related disputes with greater clarity and certainty.

What Is a Dispute Settlement Appraisal?

A dispute settlement appraisal is an independent opinion of market value used to resolve disagreements involving real property. These appraisals are commonly required for:

✔ Divorce Settlements – equitable distribution of marital property

✔ Estate & Inheritance Disputes – fair valuation for heirs and reporting purposes

✔ Business & Partnership Dissolutions – dividing or buying out real estate interests

✔ Contract Disputes & Litigation – providing court-ready valuation evidence

Our role is to provide unbiased, defensible appraisals that support fair and efficient resolution.
