Challenging Appraisals: Strategies for Lawyers and Their Clients
Appraisals are often a crucial part of real estate transactions, litigations, taxes, and estate planning. However, in the course of obtaining an appraisal or while reviewing an appraisal, it may be necessary to verify the reliability, credibility, and accuracy of an appraisal report. Should there be questions, it may even be necessary to challenge an appraisal. Sometimes, appraisals may be based on faulty assumptions, incomplete data, or biased opinions. In such cases, appraisals may not reflect the true market value of the property or the fair compensation for the damages.
If you or your client are facing a situation where an appraisal is challenged or disputed, you need to have a solid strategy to defend or contest the appraisal. You also need to have a trusted and experienced appraisal partner who can provide you with a high-quality appraisal that meets the standards of the industry and the court.
