Los Angeles Divorce Appraisals — FAQ
Neutral, court-approved valuations tailored to LA’s diverse neighborhoods — Brentwood single family homes, Venice condos, and Hollywood multi-units.
What is a date-of-separation or retrospective appraisal?
A date-of-separation (DOS) appraisal estimates your property's value as of a specific past date, essential in LA divorces for fair asset division. The appraiser uses historic comps and market data for court-accepted results[web:122][web:124].
Are appraisals for condos and multi-units accepted in LA divorce court?
Yes, certified appraisers provide USPAP-compliant valuations for condos, 2–4 unit income properties, trusts, and tenant-occupied homes across Los Angeles. These reports are court-ready and useful for mediation[web:124][web:122].
Who pays for the divorce appraisal in Los Angeles?
Most LA couples split the cost of a divorce appraisal equally as part of the settlement. If parties disagree, the court may decide, or one spouse may be responsible based on income or benefit[web:121][web:122].
What documents should we provide for a divorce appraisal?
Provide your case number, attorney contact, stipulations (neutral/shared cost), prior appraisals, lists of renovations, tax statements, and access details for the LA property. This ensures speed and accuracy[web:122][web:121][web:140].
Can each spouse hire their own appraiser?
Yes. If there is disagreement on value, each party may hire a separate LA appraiser. Then, the court or mediator may average the values or appoint a third expert for final determination[web:124].
How is a divorce appraisal different from a regular home appraisal in LA?
A divorce appraisal is designed for asset division, must meet legal and family law standards, and often uses retrospective market data. Regular appraisals are for purchase, refinance, or other purposes and may not be court-ready[web:121][web:122].
What factors impact value for LA homes in divorce?
Features like location in Brentwood or Venice, amenities, renovations, market activity, and property condition all affect appraisal value in Los Angeles. Multi-units and condos may also adjust for rent rolls, HOA, and local trends[web:140][web:121].
How long does a divorce appraisal take in Los Angeles?
A typical timeline is a few business days after inspection, although complex or multi-unit properties may take longer. Rush delivery is available if deadlines demand it, especially for court or mediation filings[web:121][web:140].
