A parent selling to a child, siblings unwinding a co-owned property, a transfer into or out of a family entity: the IRS expects the transaction to reflect fair market value, and family members expect to be treated equally. An independent appraisal serves both.
A Price Everyone Can Point To
A market-based value, with the comparable evidence behind it, converts an awkward negotiation into a documented transaction. The figure came from the market, not from whoever argued hardest at Thanksgiving.
Reducing IRS and Family Risk
A credible, USPAP-compliant appraisal lowers the odds of an IRS challenge to a bargain sale or gift, and it protects the family relationships that outlast the paperwork.
Fees
Family-transaction appraisals are priced by report type on the fee schedule.
