Inheritance, divorce, donation: when a property valuation becomes essential

Introduction: neutrality matters when it counts

Some moments in life call for more than just a basic property estimate. In the case of inheritance, divorce, or donation, it’s not just about knowing the value of a property — it’s about justifying it in a clear, independent, and legally valid way.

In these often-sensitive situations, hiring a certified property expert ensures transparency, fairness, and legal protection for all parties involved.

Why is a property valuation necessary in these cases?

1. Inheritance

In the context of an estate, a reliable property valuation is essential to:

• fairly divide the assets between heirs
  
  
• prevent family disputes
  
  
• determine the taxable base of the inheritance
  
  
• provide accurate figures for the notary and tax authorities
  
  

2. Divorce or separation

When joint property needs to be divided:

• an up-to-date and impartial valuation is key
  
  
• both parties need a document accepted by lawyers or courts
  
  
• the report can support legal or notarial negotiations
  
  

3. Donation or asset transfer

The value of the property affects taxes and the fairness of the transfer. An expert helps:

• optimise estate planning
  
  
• establish an incontestable reference value
  
  
• ensure all parties are treated fairly
