Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings both hinge on an accurate read of the equity in any real property the debtor owns. A credible, independent appraisal is what the trustee needs to evaluate exemptions and what the court relies on to rule on secured claims.
Why the Equity Number Matters So Much
The trustee and the court use the appraised value, net of liens and applicable exemptions, to determine how a property is treated in the filing. An accurate, well-supported number protects a debtor from an inflated equity figure and gives the trustee the documentation needed to sign off without delay.
