Speak with your attorney about the appraisal, but I will tell you that I applied to refinance the house and wasn't able to because the appraisal came in at $340k, then 4 months later we were selling the house for #365, and the appraisal came in over that.

I don't know why, and I'm not going to speculate that it is always that way. But I will say that if the appraisal comes in high, you might need to re-finance to buy her out, so attaching the appraisal to a refi may work both ways.
