In a prestigious real estate market like Beverly Hills, where properties range from historic estates to ultra-luxury hillside homes, accuracy in valuation is critical—especially during major life transitions.

Under California law, real estate owned during marriage must be fairly divided. In high-value areas like Beverly Hills, even small discrepancies in valuation can have major financial consequences. Our Divorce Appraisals provide:

Documentation for spousal buyouts and refinancing
Professional support for mediators, attorneys, and courts
A neutral, third-party valuation to help avoid disputes
When a homeowner passes away, the IRS and California probate courts often require a Date of Death Appraisal to establish fair market value at the time of death. This valuation is essential for:
Establishing a step-up in cost basis for tax reporting
Equitable distribution among heirs or beneficiaries
Legal documentation for probate, trust administration, or estate planning
Supporting CPAs, estate attorneys, and fiduciaries with accurate reports
