The last several years have seen an unprecedented level of wealth transfer transactions, including interests in privately held operating companies.

 

Effectuating those transactions so close to the end of the year when it involves a complex appraisal, such as a privately held business, can be problematic.

 

Depending upon when a valuation project is started, there may be insufficient time to obtain a robust and reliable appraisal prior to year-end.

Many practitioners will employ the use of defined value gift clauses, which in effect, allow for a gift to be made prior to receiving the appraisal.
