Divorce
If you are involved in a divorce, choose K.W. APPRAISALS, LLC to provide a realistic value of real estate to be divided.
Settling a divorce involves many decisions, including who keeps the house. There are generally two options when discussing common real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to order an appraisal of the common real estate.
An appraisal for the purpose of asset division should include a well-established, authoritative value conclusion that is defensible during a trial. When you order an appraisal from K.W. APPRAISALS, LLC, you are assured the best in service with courtesy and well-supported conclusions. Handling the special conditions of a divorce situation is somewhat matter-of-fact for us.
K.W. APPRAISALS, LLC can help if you need an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other allocation of assets.
Attorneys as well as accountants in Michigan rely on our values when figuring out real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes where it is material. We understand their needs and are used to dealing with all parties involved. We provide appraisal reports for courts or various agencies that meet or exceed their requirements.
Property Valuations for Estate Settlement
Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful task.
Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to establish market value for the home involved. We understand that when you lose a loved one, acquiring an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, now and then the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is needed.
K.W. APPRAISALS, LLC assures that our staff is familiar with the procedures and requirements requested by the federal and Michigan revenue agencies to supply a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one.
The requirement of ordering a real estate appraisal when cooperating with revenue services to show income when filing documents is often unknown by most people.
One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This level of documentation will certainly substantiate the evidence that the values expressed are well-founded and accurate.
K.W. APPRAISALS, LLC will provide a detailed appraisal, which will provide an executor accurate facts and figures that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. You need not stress over anything, because we will be there to support our work if they are ever refuted.

Some examples of issues we have experience with include:
- Valuation of "stigmatized" property
- Valuation as of a date in the past
