Reassessing Property Value

Colorado Divorce and Property Settlement Lawyers

Because marital property division can be one of the most contentious and complicated parts of a divorce, accurately assessing the value of all assets and property is a critical concern. For many couples getting a divorce in Colorado, the family home is typically the most significant asset they own. The rapid and continuing downturn in the housing market reinforce the importance for divorcing spouses to seek counsel from a divorce lawyer who can help them avoid making critical decisions based property values that can be seriously out-of-sync.

Like many areas of the country, property tax value reassessments in Colorado are conducted every few years. As such, the state's current property tax value information may be based on what are now seriously out dated valuations. The assessed value of a home purchased even two years ago can be serious overstated today.

Hiring a private appraiser can be costly and a conflict of interest may exist as many also worked with the state on official assessments. From considering your home's neighborhood location, lot, acreage, square footage, condition and many other details, to drafting and filing a proper petition for appeal on time, our lawyers offer sound advice about how to effectively approach a reassessment of their property's value.

Make Smarter Decisions about Your Future

Without an accurate assessment of your home based on current market values, decisions made while dividing marital property can leave ex-spouses facing financial problems after their divorce has been finalized. Amounts in a property settlement are almost never modified post-judgment, so you want to be absolutely certain the numbers are correct the first time. Our attorneys assist clients in pursuing accurate assessments that reflect a home's property value today. By doing so, spouses can avoid surprises and make more informed and favorable financial decisions.
