A gift appraisal values commercial real estate interests being transferred as gifts. Donors and their advisors need a supported value when gifting real estate for tax reporting, planning, or documentation purposes.

What the service involves

The assignment is an appraisal of the real estate interest being gifted, concluded under a defined value definition (typically fair market value) and intended use, with an effective date set to the date of the gift. The deliverable is a written appraisal report documenting the scope, effective date, market evidence, and value conclusion. Tax treatment depends on the IRS and your tax advisor.

When clients need this service

Donors, their attorneys, and CPAs use gift appraisals when commercial real estate is transferred as a gift and a supported value is needed for tax reporting or planning. For example, an owner gifting an interest in a commercial property to a family member may need a fair market value appraisal as of the gift date.

What the analysis considers

The analysis considers the property interest being gifted, the property's characteristics and condition, market conditions and comparable evidence as of the gift date, the applicable value definition, and the intended use. The valuation approaches applied depend on the property type and data. The conclusion is a supported opinion of value, not a guarantee of IRS acceptance or a particular tax outcome.

Documents and information that may help

Not every item below is mandatory for every assignment. The records that matter depend on the property and the agreed scope; we will confirm what is needed during the initial discussion.

  • Property address and description
  • The interest being gifted
  • The date of the gift (the effective date)
  • The intended use and intended users
  • Any relevant tax or planning documents

How the engagement works

We begin by discussing the gift and the effective date to confirm scope and the value definition. After agreeing on scope, we research market conditions and comparable evidence as of that date, analyze the data, and deliver a written appraisal report. Scope, fees, and timing depend on the property and the reporting requirement.
