Valuations for Divorce and Matrimonial Asset Division
During divorce proceedings, valuable personal property such as art collections, jewellery, watches and antiques may need to be assessed to establish their current market value.
Courts and legal representatives often require independent valuations prepared by recognised specialists to ensure assets are fairly considered during financial settlements. In the Family Division, we undertake these valuations as a joint instruction on behalf of both parties and report directly to the court.
Lyon & Turnbull regularly assists family law solicitors and private clients by providing objective valuation reports supported by current market evidence.
