Attorneys and accountants in South Carolina depend on our analysis when calculating what real property is worth for estates, divorces, or other disputes where it is material. We understand their needs and are accustomed to dealing with all parties involved. We provide appraisal documents for courts or various agencies that meet or exceed their requirements. For attorneys dealing with a divorce, your case's material facts customarily require an appraisal to establish market value for the residential real estate involved. Often the divorce date can be different from the date you purchased the appraisal. We're experienced with the processes and the effort requisite to develop a retrospective appraisal that has an effective date and Market Value opinion matching the date of divorce. We perform many divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they need to be handled delicately. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) dictates confidentiality, resulting in the utmost discretion. |
