Commercial Real Estate Valuations for your Attorney, CPA, Accountant, and Enrolled Agent involved in estate planning, tax planning, and asset planning.  In planning an estate a living trust, last will and testament, durable power of attorney, and living will are good starts for planning an estate. One of the first places to start is to have your commercial portfolio valued by experts in real estate valuation. There are many situations you need an appraiser to value your commercial real estate like IRS estate tax 706 date of death (death tax), transfer of assets to grandchildren, Corporation asset & tax disposition planning, trust planning, and planning for distribution of real estate assets.  An estate planning attorney needs to select a qualified appraiser, one that is familiar with IRS Real Property Guide Lines. It is especially important to a tax attorney if he feels there may be a valuation challenge by the IRS. A good estate tax attorney will rely upon an SRPA or MAI designated appraisers to provide them with a credible current or retrospective appraisal report. An estate planning lawyer, accountants, CPA tax accountant, and enrolled agents and tax specialist's can trust in the experience and knowledge of a member of the Appraisal Institute.
