Remember all those documents you signed when you bought the house?
Where are your house documents now ...
when you need them?
Every house is document intensive.
In family matters, you need house documents and information early in the legal process (elder, divorce, trusts & estates), to protect your financial future and advance informed decision making.
Appraisal - Mortgage = a (gross net) number, probably not your actual equity
You need more information than an appraisal and more documents than a mortgage balance statement.
To accurately calculate house equity, be sure to consider things that lower your house value, including liens and condition issues. Also investigate issues that may prevent successful house re-sale, like title and insurance issues.
Get house documents handled early in the legal process - sooner is better!
Now is not the time to leave real estate to chance, given property division is likely permanent.
