What Is Litigation Support in Real Estate?
Litigation support in real estate involves providing appraisals, valuation analysis, and expert testimony to assist in legal disputes or proceedings where property value is a key factor. In many legal cases, such as divorce settlements, estate disputes, or condemnation proceedings, the value of real estate is central to the outcome. A professional appraisal provides an objective, independent estimate of the property’s market value, which can serve as vital evidence in court or mediation.
At Hunter Appraisal Services, our appraisers are skilled in delivering precise valuations and explaining complex real estate concepts in a clear, concise manner, making them valuable resources during litigation.
