Services
Inheritance Appraisals
Inheritance appraisals determine property value for estate tax purposes following a death. We provide retrospective valuations as of the date of death, ensuring compliance with IRS and California requirements. Our reports support equitable asset distribution and tax planning for heirs and executors.
Divorce Appraisals
Divorce appraisals establish fair market value for homes during marital asset division. We conduct retrospective valuations tied to filing dates, offering court-defensible reports to facilitate equitable settlements while maintaining client confidentiality throughout the process.
Tax Assessment Appeals
Tax assessment appeals challenge inaccurate property valuations affecting tax liabilities. We analyze local market data to demonstrate discrepancies, helping clients potentially reduce annual tax burdens through evidence-based reassessments with county authorities.
Bankruptcy Appraisals
Bankruptcy appraisals provide precise property valuations for asset disclosure during proceedings. Our timely reports ensure compliance with court requirements, offering clear documentation of equity positions to support reorganization or liquidation processes.
Mortgage Lending
Mortgage lending appraisals assess property value to secure financing for purchases or refinancing. We deliver thorough analyses meeting lender requirements, ensuring accurate valuations that support loan approval while protecting both borrower and lender interests.
