Valuation services include:
- Estates and Gift Taxation - valuation of closely-held securities, business assets, machinery and equipment. Special expertise in FLP's and S-Corps, where these entities may own real estate as their primary assets.
- Discounts - determination of appropriate discounts for lack of control and marketability. We have developed sophisticated means of determining defensible discounts: extremely important for gift and estate taxes.
- Pension Fund Compliance - ERISA compliance appraisals for ESOPs and 401(k) business investments.
- IRS Section 409A Compliance - deferred compensation and stock options.
- Non-cash Charitable Donations - IRS Form 8283 compliance.
- Cost Segregation - separation of fixed assets versus real property.
- Corporate Structure Conversion - appraisals to convert from C- to S-Corp, eliminating double taxation.
- Coordinated Exit Strategies - taxes, cash flow and safety.
- Divorces and Dissolution's - property settlements, business and equipment appraisals, including: minority discounts where appropriate and valuations of closely-held securities.
