Seminar Description:

Most discussion of appraiser liability focuses on lawsuits and claims relating to appraisals performed for mortgage lending.  However, appraisal assignments for litigation and other non-lending purposes actually present a greater liability risk to the appraiser on a per assignment basis.  This seminar addresses the specific liability risks and additional key legal issues associated with appraisals for litigation, divorce, estate, tax, conservation easements and other non-lending purposes.  It also addresses liability considerations for review appraisers. Actual lawsuits against appraisers form the foundation of the seminar.

 

These are the kinds of questions that appraisers get answered in this seminar: Who sues appraisers serving as expert witnesses? Who sues appraisers performing appraisals for tax purposes?  What’s the surest way for an appraiser to be sued for non-lending work?  What’s the likelihood of being sued about a retrospective review appraisal?  How does potential liability for a retrospective review compare with potential liability for a contemporaneous review?  What are the statutes of limitation for claims?  What special provisions should I consider putting in an engagement letter for different types of non-lending assignments?

 

The instructor for the course is Peter Christensen, Christensen Law Firm, www.valuationlegal.com.
