02 — Estate Planning and Conveyance Valuations

Careful valuations for estates and transfers.

When a property passes to family or forms part of an estate, an independent valuation helps executors and owners meet their obligations. These valuations are used for stamp duty and tax purposes and influence the amount payable.
