Schedules filed in a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case rise or fall on the real-property value behind them. A credible, independent appraisal gives the trustee, the debtor's attorney, and the bankruptcy court a number they can act on when they sort out claimed exemptions and decide how secured creditors are handled.
Establishing the Equity Position
Once liens and claimed exemptions are subtracted, whatever remains is the equity the estate can reach. A defensible market value keeps a debtor from being credited with equity that is not there and simultaneously satisfies a trustee whose job is to test the figure.
Accepted in the Southern District of California
Reports are prepared to USPAP and formatted around the documentation a filing in the Southern District of California requires. I handle assignments for both debtor and creditor counsel across the county.
Deadlines and Service Area
Bankruptcy work is calendar-driven, so I confirm the due date before accepting the assignment and work backward from it. Full inspections, drive-by reports, and desktop products are available throughout San Diego County and up into Temecula and Murrieta; a property elsewhere in California can still be valued by desktop.
