Attorneys

We offer a variety of residential and commercial appraisal types to assist attorneys involved in real estate matters. This can include current market value for divorce proceedings or estate planning; or a retrospective market value appraisal for a real estate tax appeal or an estate tax settlement involving the IRS. We are aware of the specific appraisal guidelines for all local, state, and federal agencies.

Please call us to discuss your specific needs: 847-392-3334.

We provide full, certified appraisals to determine fair market value to aid with the following:

• Real estate tax appeal
• Estate planning
• Estate settlement
• Divorce
• Property donations involving real estate
• IRS settlement appraisals
• Probate appraisals
• Bankruptcy appraisals
• Eminent Domain appraisals
• Right-of-way appraisals
• Bail bonds appraisals

We understand the importance of determining a neutral and unbiased opinion of fair market value to aid in divorce proceedings. For estate planning, a real estate appraisal can assist in structuring an estate plan that will maximize the tax benefits for the client by providing a valuation of real estate assets. A certified appraisal will also provide professional support in case of audit by the IRS. The  cost of an appraisal can be a deductible expense on estate tax  returns and sometimes even in the process of estate planning (i.e. family limited partnerships).
