Litigation Support

RJ Corey & Associates provides appraisal review services and forensic consulting for personal property valuation dispute resolution and litigation.

Appraisal Review

RJ Corey & Associates helps test charitable donation, gift tax, estate, or divorce related appraisals for reasonableness of logic, assumptions, and value conclusions as well as for compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). We develop formal written opinions as to the completeness of appraisals under review, apparent adequacy and relevance of evidence, appropriateness of appraisal methods and techniques used, and whether the analyses, opinions, and conclusions in the appraisal are appropriate and reasonable.

Forensic Consulting

RJ Corey & Associates provides support as consulting expert by reviewing appraisals prepared at the request of counsel or opposing counsel. We can help retaining counsel frame questions for deposition or trial related to personal property appraising, USPAP compliance, antiques and decorative art, most appropriate market, and valuation methodology. In this way, the strengths and weaknesses of appraisals and value estimates are brought to light for debate and formal argumentation.
