Eminent Domain /
Partial Takings

Eminent Domain is the states power to take private property without the owner’s consent (termed “condemnation”).

While most condemnation cases are settled through negotiation, having a well-documented appraisal report strengthens your negotiating position. If the case in not settled, our professionals can serve as expert witnesses to defend the opinion of value.

Partial Interest Valuations

Province provides partial interest valuations that include Family Trusts, General and Limited Partnerships and Stock Ownership (shares of stock). Province also provides valuation for privately held business interests (stock and partnership units, etc.), as well as partial interest in ownership to support claims on estate or gift tax returns, as well as Tax Appeal Valuations. 

Estate Valuations

Estate valuation is the process of calculating the value of a gross estate for federal estate tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Code provides for two values: the “date of death” value or the “alternate valuation date” value. Estate valuation can be complicated by the inclusion of additional owners and must address lack of liquidity and lack of marketability.

Tax Appeal Valuations

In most states, real estate is taxed based upon its market value as of a certain date. Usually the value is set as of January 1 of each year. States have laws relating to the process and how each county tax auditor go about the business of property taxation. It is important for the appraiser to understand how to separate out the going-concern value from the real estate value in order to provide a value tax-appeal appraisal. Province has extensive experience in providing tax-appeal appraisals that consistently breakout the real estate value.
