Hello all!

What is the correct form to use for a divorce appraisal?

Thanks in advance.:Emoticon_hug:

GPAR form.

 

[Mr Rex]

I recommend the BR549.

 

[Lee Lansford]

"Divorce1004" or, for condo-ownership, the "Divorce1073" ("Divorce1025" for 2-4s).

 

[LI-Appr]

I use GPAR 2009 SFR

 

[Ken B]

It depends. Are you representing the husband or the wife?

In the past I've used the old 1004, pre 2005.

If you don't know the answer to this question, or why your question is flawed, you should either turn down the assignment or immediately find a certified appraiser with experience in this area and partner with them for this job. Besides, if it might involve going to court, you'd be ripped apart by the other side for your license level alone.

Ms. Bear,

I am not sure that I know why the question is flawed, care to explain? There is a first time in everyone's career when they run into litigation work and the last time I checked this forum is a place where professional appraisers help each other.

It is a simple question that everyone has to have answered for a first time in their careers. I am sure you had the question once, or were you born with the answer already?

You advise to partner with a certified appraiser for this type of assignment. Geez, it is an appraisal of a home, not an eminent domain case with a partial taking and damages requiring before and after values. The OP is licensed by the state to perform this type of assignment and thus is a professional in his field.

As to your going to court opinion I know of some very talented Licensed appraisers who have been professionals for many years. Perhaps if you faced them in court they would rip you for your new Certified status, after you were one of those lowly licensed appraisers just a year ago.

Feeling sanctimonious today?
