Moore-Marsden Estimator

Estimated Property Interests

Community Property Interest
Separate Property Interest
Total Equity

Simple Cases Only

This estimator handles straightforward Moore-Marsden scenarios where the home was purchased before marriage with no refinancing during the marriage.

The formula calculates the community's pro-tanto share of appreciation based on the principal reduction during marriage relative to the purchase price.

Important: For cases involving refinancing, title changes, separate property contributions during marriage, or other complexities, the formula becomes deceptively simple. Contact Greg directly for an accurate, court-ready analysis.
