Did you know that your client\u2019s machinery and equipment has a value that can substantiate, strengthen, or even lose the most successful case in court? After all, if you rely on a guess, a depreciation schedule, or an uncertified auctioneer or dealer to determine a value, it\u2019s inaccurate and will not hold up to scrutiny with the IRS, courts, or lenders.<\/p>\n
How can you use an accurate value of your clients\u2019 machinery and equipment to your advantage? There are at least 20 ways an accurate, substantiated, irrefutable, and defensible value of machinery and equipment can be of help to you and your clients. Here are just a few of the ways:<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t want your client\u2019s divorce or partnership dissolution to exclude the value of their machinery and equipment because the opposing counsel has a certified machinery and equipment appraisal to rely upon and you don\u2019t. A certified machinery and equipment appraiser\u2019s professional credentials will withstand a Daubert challenge.<\/p>\n
An appraisal report from a certified machinery and equipment appraiser (CMEA) arms you with an irrefutable, defensible, and substantiated value of machinery and equipment that will prevail before the IRS, courts, lenders, attorneys, CPAs, and others. And when working with a CMEA, you know that you are receiving a report consistent with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP<\/a>). In fact, the IRS may disallow a filing because there is not a certified appraisal report that substantiates equipment values.<\/p>\n Contact the NEBB Institute<\/a> to find out the difference between a \u201ccertified\u201d appraisal report and an \u201cuncertified\u201d appraisal report<\/a>.<\/p>\n
