[WSBAPT] Real Estate Appraisal

[Doris Eslinger]

A colleague who just retired was asked the following question by a former
client.   He asks me to post the question to see if anyone cares to comment.
Thank you for your help in advance:

 

"As you know, the financial industry/appraisers have discussed, legislated
and digested for years the undue influence some lenders place or try to
place on appraisers to come in with values other than the results of an
appraisal. We don't get much of that mostly because we don't work for
lenders who try - more than once. We simply turn them into the Dept. of
Financial Institutions. End of story. 

 

However, we are constantly approached in one way or another by attorneys who
want us to either change (lower) or up front try to influence our value for
estate tax purposes. We repeatedly have said that the process and procedure
for determining market value -by definition - does not change with what some
person's tax bill is going to be. Obviously, these are not poor people.
Typically, over 2 to 3 million.  What I was looking for in the Bar
Association was some ethics standard for trying to influence other
professions - like an RCW we could quote. Or, I guess we quit working for
two or three attorneys."

Subject: [WSBAPT] Probate Publication Question

 

Happy Friday,

 

I am planning on filing a Petition for an Order Determining Unascertainable
Creditors and Terminating Rights under 11.40.040.  It appears that I need to
file Notice of the Hearing via publication.  How many weeks must Notice be
published?

 

Thanks for any assistance.   

 

Jennifer Nugent
