Valuation for courts, probate and marital property
We value companies, shares, property and equipment for court proceedings, probate and the division of marital property under the International Valuation Standards (IVS), at the date set by the court, the contract or the purpose of the proceedings. Sources, calculations and adjustments are in the report, with the Excel model alongside, so the other side and the court can check every assumption.
We reply on the next working day. We name the fee in writing, in our reply to your inquiry. Scope and timing are confirmed in writing before work starts.

What is different in a dispute
Value is determined at the date set by the court, the contract or the purpose of the proceedings, and that date is often not today. Data are chosen according to the situation on that day, not according to what happened later.
The other side has the right to check every assumption. That is why the sources, calculations and adjustments in the report are visible, and the Excel model is available.

Have someone else's valuation or report?
A review of someone else's valuation or report is done by Schule on schule.co.me, the same team: written comments on the assumptions and calculations; the fee and timing are there. Here we prepare a new valuation at the required date when one is needed.

VIIIQuestions
Questions clients ask about this topic
Can you value at an earlier date?
Yes. Valuation at an earlier date is common in disputes and probate proceedings, using the data that were known on that day.
Do you review the other side's valuation?
A review of someone else's valuation or report is a Schule service on schule.co.me (Financial opinions and reviews), the same team. Send the inquiry there or here; it reaches the same team.
Who may use the report?
The client, the lawyer and the court, in line with the purpose stated in the report.
Will the court accept the valuation?
We do not promise that: the court weighs the evidence. We answer for a report that follows IVS and keeps sources, calculations and assumptions visible, so the other side and the court can check them.
How much does a valuation for court or probate cost?
We name the fee and timing in writing, in our reply to your inquiry, according to the type of asset, the valuation date and the volume of documents. We do not charge by the hour.
