 Attorney's and their clients usually need more than just an opinion of market value. An attorney often needs a professional service that goes above and beyond traditional appraisal services alone. Due to the sensitive nature of their clients dealing with an Estate, Estate Management, Divorce or other sensitive area, they need a professional service by someone who has the experience, ethics and sensitivity to understand the situation. Appraisals for legal purposes must be detailed, written in a manner for the intended users and well documented and supported in a manner to withstand withering scrutiny. Depending on the circumstances, attorney's and their clients often require much more than just an opinion of market value for a specific point in time. If a client needs to evaluate a property to make a decision about whether to retain, give up or sell a property due to a divorce, there is significant value in understanding not only the market value at a point in time, but also what the market trends are. Is the property value trend increasing, stable or declining? What is the rate of property value change? Is the market reflecting a short or long typical marketing or exposure time? These market trends can be of critical importance in this decision-making process. At Pinnacle Appraisal we understand these needs. Our valuation services for our attorney clients are tailored and customized to provide the level of detail and information that their clients need. |
