Divorce appraisals and real estate disputes involve many decisions, including "Who gets the real property"? In a divorce there are generally two options regarding disposition of the property - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should order a divorce appraisal of the real estate as of the date of separation. Preparing an appraisal for divorce settlement requires a real estate expert that can support a defensible opinion in court. Just like choosing a doctor, attorney at law, accountant, CPA, or estate planning professional it is wise to review the qualifications of a divorce appraiser when the divorce involves any kind of residential, industrial or commercial real estate.

 In a divorce, estate tax return filing becomes an important consideration. A helpful resource is IRS Publication504, - PUB-523-SELLINGYOURHOME -----or -- Pub527-RESIDENTIAL-RENTAL-PROPERTY. 

For investment real estate in a divorce you can review the publication INVESTMENT-INCOME&EXPENSES which explains the tax rules that apply to investment property. If you are divorced or separated from your spouse and have income property, it is important to obtain an appraisal that is acceptable to both the IRS and one that can also be used by your attorney in a settlement proceeding, mediation, or arbitration matter.  In both of these instances, selection of the a qualified real estate appraiser is very important.

IRS guidelines state that a residential or commercial appraiser must be qualified under Treasury Regulations Section 1.170A-13(c)(5). In addition, you should find  an experienced divorce apprasial expert and one that is familiar with IRS Real Property Valuation Guide Lines. For example, Treasury Regulation Section 20.2031-1(b) requires the appraiser to follow certain guide lines when preparing a qualified appraisal for federal and state tax filiing.

Divorce attorneys and accountants handing a divorce rely on a experts in real estate when calculating real property values for estates, estate tax return filing, divorces, marital disputes, bankruptcy, or partnership disolutions requiring a value being placed on homes or investment real property.

We can prepare residential home, commercial income property, and industrial real estate reports throughout Southern California that are in compliance with the Uniform Standards Of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). 

If you are a family law divorce attorney handling division of property, your needs often times include hiring a real estate appraiser to establish "Fair Market Value" (FMV) and to provide expert testimony for appraisal purposes. Many times the divorce date differs from the date you order the appraisal. In those situations, we are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a forensic retrospective appraisal with an effective date and "Fair Market Value" (FMV) opinion matching th date of separation. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.
