Issues & Problems You Could Face in a Divorce

It is common for real estate owners to face legal situations regarding:

• Who is responsible for the payment of outstanding mortgages
• Any side agreements that are not mentioned in the divorce decree
• Short sales of properties
• Joint residency
• The proper valuation of a residential or commercial property

Division of assets can be done amicably by the spouses or as a court appointed arrangement. When making a decision about the home, there are three possible outcomes:

• Sell the house and split the proceeds

• One spouse keeps the home and refinances the mortgage to remove the other from the loan

• Both former spouses keep the house temporarily.

What Helps Resolve Real Estate Matters Quickly

A major cause of tension in divorce proceedings is when there are hidden assets. Common assets include real estate, homes, stock options, and bank accounts among others. It can be helpful to the process to fully disclose all property and assets and provide any necessary documents.
