I appraised a property in 5 1/2 years ago for a refi transaction and was serviced with a subpoena last Thursday to appear at a divorce dissolution hearing regarding said property. What am I allowed to discuss when on the stand other then effective date and appraised value as of the effective date.? Any input would be much appreciated.
Hmmmmm... have not seen the right responses yet, perhaps I will after reading all the responses. You CANNOT "discuss" the value conclusion. The value conclusion was your OPINION for a party not a party to the divorce... it would be confidential regardless of the parties to the divorce having a copy of the report. (Note: My post was predicated on your role being a witness to fact and a judge has not ordered you to discuss your opinions. But upon reading the entire thread I see you received much good advice).
