ARRANGING A DIVORCE APPRAISAL · CHERRY HILL
Five steps.
One clearer request.
For your Cherry Hill home, begin with what your attorney needs the report to establish.
- Agree the instructions. Confirm the valuation date, intended use and who needs to rely on the report with your attorney.
- Discuss the provider and scope. Share the address and deadline. Ask who will be assigned, check that appraiser’s New Jersey credential, and agree the fee and delivery estimate.
- Arrange access. Decide who can make the home available and ask which areas need to be accessible.
- Share the property’s history. List major changes and condition concerns. A township record, Camden County deed or plans you already hold may help.
- Confirm delivery and questions. Agree who receives the report and how to raise factual questions. Your attorney directs the legal decisions.
Prepare the home without adding another project.
Clear the areas the appraiser needs to see and arrange for pets. You do not need to redecorate. Relevant records and an honest account of changes are more useful than a perfectly styled room.
Use the short document checklist to gather what you already have. Missing paperwork need not stop the first conversation.
