Inheritance Property Valuation and Division
Valuing inherited property in Lebanon property by property, and comparing values so heirs can weigh division, sale or settlement against one agreed set of figures.
Inheritance valuation and division
What the service is
Valuing each property in an estate separately, as at a stated date, so that division, sale or settlement becomes a conversation about figures everyone accepts the source of.

Who it is for

When
When you need it
An independent report does not end a disagreement by itself. But it moves it: instead of arguing about what a property is worth, the family argues about which option they prefer — sell, keep, or settle. That is a disagreement that can be resolved.
- 01
Straight after a death. Property stays registered in the deceased's name until the rights are moved.
- 02
When the estate file is organised. What the estate actually holds, where, and on what documents.
- 03
When the estate is divided. An estate holding more than one property is divided by value, not by counting.
- 04
Before selling an inherited property. A sale normally assumes the rights are registered in the heirs' names.
- 05
When the heirs are abroad. The file starts with a document review; the power of attorney is settled after it, not before.

The work
What the work involves
- 01Establishing the purpose
Sale? Inheritance? Court? Bank? The purpose determines the report's scope and form, and is agreed before work starts.
- 02Reviewing documents
Confirming the property's identity, ownership, area and registered charges, and identifying what is missing.
- 03Inspection
Visiting the property and recording what no document shows: actual condition, surroundings, access, current use.
- 04Analysis
Testing the evidence against the market and comparable properties, choosing the approach that fits the property type and the quality of the data.
- 05Reporting
A full record of the property, purpose, sources, methodology, assumptions, and the conclusion with its date.
Documents
Documents required
A reference list, not a precondition. Send what you have; what is missing is identified at review.
The inheritance certificate, or a document identifying the heirs, once issued
The official document establishing who the heirs are and their shares.
Title extracts for the estate properties
An extract from the Land Registry showing ownership and any registered charges.
Proof of ownership
Whatever establishes the owner's standing in the property, an older document included.
Maps and area statements
To establish boundaries, area, shape and the relationship to the surrounding roads.
Any agreement or court decision relating to the division
The appointment decision or the text of the mission, which sets the scope and limits of the expertise.
Powers of attorney, where one heir acts for others
The outcome
What you receive
A report a third party can read, and follow to the conclusion it reaches.
Value is tied to its valuation date and stated purpose. In estate files particularly, a different date can visibly change the answer.
Tell me the property, the region and why the value is needed.
The file is reviewed first: documents required, scope of work, expected timeframe. No fee is quoted before that.
