Staying out of the courtroom unless you're being paid to be there

A lot of discussion of appraiser liability focuses on lawsuits and claims relating to appraisals performed by mortgage lending. However, appraisal assignments for litigation and other non-lending purposes may actually present a greater liability risk to the appraiser on a per assignment basis. This seminar addresses some of the key risks and issues associated with appraisal 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.
