What is Litigation Support in Real Estate?

Litigation support in real estate involves providing expert appraisal and valuation services to assist in legal proceedings. Whether the dispute is related to property value, easements, partition cases, divorce settlements, eminent domain, or any other real estate matter, an objective valuation is often central to a fair resolution. At Capital City Valuation, we deliver accurate, defensible appraisals that meet the high standards of court admissibility, along with expert testimony and consultation to support our findings.

With our litigation support, attorneys and clients gain access to reliable evidence that clarifies complex real estate issues and helps achieve equitable outcomes.

When Do You Need Litigation Support?

Our litigation support services are beneficial in a variety of situations, including:

• Divorce Settlements: In divorce cases, property values are crucial for equitable asset division. An unbiased appraisal provides a fair valuation to support negotiations and legal resolutions.

• Estate and Probate Disputes: When there is disagreement over the value of inherited property, our appraisals provide clarity, ensuring that the property’s worth is accurately represented for fair distribution.

• Eminent Domain and Condemnation: If a government entity is acquiring property, property owners may seek litigation support to ensure fair compensation. Our appraisals provide a credible valuation that protects owners' rights.

• Partition and Co-Ownership Disputes: When co-owners cannot agree on how to manage or divide property, our appraisals help provide an impartial assessment of value, guiding equitable solutions.

• Tax Assessment Appeals: For clients challenging tax assessments, we provide market-based valuations that support appeals for more accurate property tax assessments.

• Breach of Contract or Fraud Cases: In disputes involving property transactions, our appraisals help determine whether parties received fair value and can support claims of breach or misrepresentation.
