Bankruptcy Appraisals
Reliable and accurate property valuations required for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings.
Protecting Your Assets During Bankruptcy
Filing for bankruptcy is a stressful financial event. When real estate is involved, the bankruptcy court and the appointed trustee require an accurate, independent assessment of the property's fair market value. This valuation determines how much equity you have in your home and whether that equity is protected under bankruptcy exemptions.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
In a Chapter 7 liquidation, an accurate appraisal is vital to determine if there is unprotected equity in your home that the trustee could use to pay creditors. A precise valuation helps your attorney protect your home.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
In a Chapter 13 reorganization, the value of your home directly impacts your repayment plan. An inflated value could result in higher payments, making an accurate, professional appraisal essential.
Why You Need a Certified Appraiser
Online automated valuation models (like Zestimates) or a real estate agent's Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) are generally not accepted by bankruptcy courts. The court requires a formal appraisal report prepared by a State-Certified Appraiser.
Judges and trustees scrutinize these reports closely. If the value is deemed inaccurate, it can delay proceedings or jeopardize your case. J.P. Cubas Appraisal Services provides highly detailed, defensible reports that hold up to the strict standards of the bankruptcy court.
