Los Angeles Divorce Appraisals — FAQ

Neutral, court-accepted property valuations across LA’s major neighborhoods—covering Brentwood single family homes, Venice condos, and Hollywood multi-units.

What is a “date-of-separation” or retrospective appraisal?

A date-of-separation appraisal determines value as of a specific past date, often crucial in divorce for fair division. The appraiser uses historic comps and local market conditions to establish a credible, court-accepted figure.

Are divorce appraisals recognized for condos, multi-units, or trusts?

Yes. Los Angeles courts accept valuations for all property types—condos, SFRs, 2–4 unit buildings, tenant-occupied homes, and trust assets—when provided by a certified appraiser with USPAP-compliant documentation.

Who pays for the divorce appraisal in Los Angeles?

Most LA couples split the appraisal fee as part of settlement costs, but courts may assign responsibility based on circumstances. Fees are typically shared unless otherwise ordered.

What documents and information are needed?

Provide your case number, attorney contact, property details, prior appraisals, any renovations, tax records, and access instructions. Upfront documentation helps ensure accuracy and speed.

Can each spouse order a separate appraisal?

Yes. Each party may retain its own appraiser if there is dispute. The court may review both reports and, if necessary, appoint a neutral referee or use averages to set a value.

How does a divorce appraisal differ from a regular real estate valuation?

A divorce appraisal is produced for equitable division and legal review—often as of a retrospective date—while standard appraisals serve financing or listing needs. Divorce reports are built for court standards and opposing scrutiny.

What impacts value for LA homes in divorce cases?

Location (Brentwood, Venice, Hollywood), amenities, upgrades, market trends, and property type all matter. Multi-units and condos adjust for income streams, HOAs, and local demand.

How long does a divorce appraisal take?

Typical turnaround in LA is 3–7 business days post-inspection for single units; complex, trust, or income properties may take longer. Rush services are available for filing or mediation deadlines.
