Reports are typically prepared by a neutral third party and follow recognized professional standards such as USPAP. Depending on the assignment, the appraiser may analyze market data, comparable sales, ownership characteristics, or asset condition. The goal is to provide a credible, well-supported value that attorneys, courts, and opposing experts can rely on during the division process.

How does a divorce appraisal work?
In marital dissolution matters, the appraisal process is structured so the resulting opinion can withstand scrutiny from opposing counsel and, if necessary, the court.
Engagement typically begins with defining:
- the assets to be valued,
- the ownership interest (individual vs. joint), and
- the effective date of value required under the applicable jurisdiction or agreement.
The appraiser then gathers relevant documents, conducts market research, and applies appropriate valuation methodology. The final deliverable is a written report explaining the data considered, assumptions made, and reasoning behind the conclusion.
Expert testimony services may be provided as long as we are notified in advance of the appraisal.
How long does a divorce appraisal take?
It completely depends on what types of assets you are looking to have appraised and how large the assignment is. Below are rough estimates by asset type:
- Vehicles: 3-4 days
- Personal Property (art, furniture, etc.): 1-2 weeks
- Machinery & Equipment: 1-2 weeks
- Business Valuations: 2-3 weeks
AppraiseItNow offers rush appraisal services in case you need to meet fast deadlines for court.
Who pays for the appraisal in a divorce?
Responsibility for fees is usually procedural rather than valuation-driven.
Common structures include:
- equal cost sharing between the parties,
- one spouse advancing the fee subject to later reallocation, or
- each party retaining and compensating their own expert.
In contested matters, allocation may ultimately be addressed in settlement or by court order.
