Partner buyout
Independent equipment value to settle a departing partner's stake fairly.
Appraisals for buyout, estate & divorce.
When ownership changes hands, a partner buyout, a succession, an estate or a divorce, the equipment has to be divided fairly. We deliver independent, USPAP-compliant fair market value that holds up for every party and the court.
The short answer
How is equipment valued in a buyout, estate or divorce?
These matters use fair market value (FMV), what the equipment would change hands for between a willing buyer and seller, because the goal is an equitable division, not a sale under pressure. We value the assets independently under USPAP and document them so every party, and the court, can rely on the number.
Independence is the point: a neutral appraiser keeps the process out of a value dispute and moves the settlement forward.
