In California, community property laws require fair division of assets—including real estate. A certified Divorce Appraisal provides:
A clear, impartial assessment of market value (current or retrospective)
Legal documentation for spousal buyouts and refinancing
Court-admissible reports for litigation or mediation
A neutral third-party opinion to help prevent disputes
Whether you're dealing with a gated estate south of the boulevard or a remodeled ranch in the valley flats, we tailor the valuation to your property and neighborhood.

Establishing a stepped-up tax basis for estate reporting
Probate court filings and trust administration
Equitable distribution of real estate among heirs
