We understand the circumstances

Estate, probate, and family law matters are rarely straightforward — and often emotionally difficult. Our team and valuers handle every matter with discretion, professionalism, and care. If you're unsure what you need or want to talk it through first, contact us before ordering.

When to use this service

Legal matters that require
a certified valuation

Courts, solicitors, and government bodies require property valuations to be prepared by a certified, independent valuer — not an agent appraisal or automated estimate. hovr connects you with valuers who understand the standards of evidence required and have experience appearing before tribunals and courts.

Retrospective Date-of-Death Valuations

For probate and estate administration, a valuation may be required as at the date of the deceased's death — which could be months or years in the past. Our valuers are experienced in retrospective valuations and can prepare a defensible historical assessment using archived market data.

Valid for 90 Days

Estate valuations are valid for 90 days from the date of valuation. Where legal proceedings extend beyond this period, the valuer can provide a confirmation letter or updated report.

Wills & Probate

Establish the market value of estate property assets for the purposes of administering a will or applying for probate.

Divorce & Separation

Court-ready property valuations for asset pool calculations in family law proceedings, binding financial agreements, and consent orders.

Building Disputes

Independent valuations for building disputes that have reached mediation or court, including diminution-of-value assessments.

Partner & Business Settlements

Property valuations for partnership dissolution, business settlement, or any commercial dispute requiring an independent expert determination.

Compulsory Acquisition

Expert valuations for properties subject to compulsory acquisition by government or statutory bodies, supporting fair compensation claims.

Capital Gains & Tax

Market value determinations for CGT purposes, including pre-CGT assets and date-of-death valuations for estate tax calculations.

Simple Process

How it works

1

Submit your request

Provide the property address, the nature of the legal matter, and the required valuation date (current or retrospective). We'll confirm the scope and final price before you pay.

2

We match a specialist valuer

Our algorithm assigns an independently matched, API or AVI-registered valuer with experience in legal matters and court work — ensuring the report will withstand challenge.

3

Site inspection & assessment

Unlike desktop valuations, estate valuations require a physical site inspection. Your valuer will attend the property, document its condition, and conduct a full market analysis including comparable sales.

4

Court-ready report delivered

A comprehensive written valuation report is delivered within approximately 4 business days. It is formatted to meet the evidentiary standards of courts and tribunals, includes the valuer's professional indemnity insurance details, and is signed and certified.
