Valuation for Family Law Purposes
Australian Valuations have conducted many valuations for Family Law matters.
We are often called upon to provide expert witness reports in accordance with Family Law Rules. We provide valuations for all manner of tangible assets with the exception of Residential Real Estate Properties.
Do I need a valuation?
This depends on whether an agreement can be reached between the involved parties on the value of the assets. Family law property settlements can become emotionally expensive. Whether it be a deceased estate, divorce or internal family share distribution, an independent valuation provides clarity and can resolve or prevent disputes escalating out of control.
What is the difference between an agent’s or auctioneer’s appraisal and a professional valuation?
An agent’s or auctioneer’s appraisal is typically given as a guide to the value of properties and assets, usually for free, and may not be relied upon legally as an accurate value of the property or assets in question. In contrast, a professional valuation is prepared by an accredited valuer who has specialised knowledge and experience, to provide a valuation conducted in accordance with professional valuation standards.

How does a qualified valuer value assets?
This depends on the nature of the assets involved and if there are any related business interests. For real estate property and personal belongings the universal standard definition of “market value” is normally adopted by the valuer. Where business assets are involved and a “market value” assessment is required the premise of value needs to be considered. The premise of value means an assumption regarding the most likely set of transactional circumstances that may be applicable to the subject valuation in keeping with the highest and best use of the assets.
