Real Estate Disputes

Financial Clarity for Complex Real Estate Disputes

When financial records are incomplete, unclear or in dispute, reaching a resolution becomes more challenging. Real estate disputes often involve complex financial questions, as well as layered ownership structures, capital contributions, profit-sharing arrangements and development costs that all require careful analysis. Weaver’s forensic accounting and valuation professionals provide clarity and credibility in these situations, whether the dispute involves a commercial property, a development project or a real estate partnership. We work with attorneys, investors, owners, landlords and other stakeholders to uncover financial irregularities, trace assets and deliver defensible valuations that support litigation, arbitration and settlement.

Real estate disputes often involve complex financial data, conflicting valuations or questions of potential mismanagement that require a detailed and objective review. These matters call for technical precision and a thorough understanding of real estate assets, transactions and industry standards.
