A family member has passed away and left his/her property to you and/or other members of the family. No one lives in the area, or only one person does, or perhaps everyone does, but regardless, everyone can agree that knowing the value of this asset bestowed upon you is a critical piece for dividing things up fairly and accurately.
You are divorcing from your spouse, and need an unbiased opinion on the value of the home for the purposes of fairly splitting up your shared assets. Often, each spouse will obtain their own real estate appraisal of the shared property in question, or a third party (attorney, clergy, etc.) will refer a real estate appraiser to the divorcing couple, so that there is no deemed influence on the appraiser.
You are working with your attorney or financial planner to determine the details of your retirement, plan the contents of your will, or get an accurate snapshot of your real estate portfolio and would like to know the current value of your home so that you may plan accordingly.
When you purchased your home, you co-signed your home’s titlework with another person who no longer wishes to be on title. You would like to begin the process of changing the title with the proper government authorities, but need to know what the home is worth in order to settle the arrangement with the co-borrower in a fair manner.
