Division of Assets following a Divorce
When a marriage ends in divorce, in addition to the emotional and familial breakdown, it becomes necessary to address the equitable division of shared assets and properties. In cases where there are disputes regarding the allocation of marital assets, it may be advisable to enlist the services of a registered surveyor as an expert witness. The surveyor can provide authoritative reports on the market value or rental value of the properties involved and offer testimony in a court of law.
Why is property valuation essential in divorce cases?
Following a divorce, if disagreements arise between the former spouses regarding the division or management of assets, it is common practice to engage a surveyor to conduct a professional valuation. The resulting valuation report provides an impartial and objective assessment, which serves as expert evidence for the court.
