Aircraft Appraisals for Attorneys & Fiduciaries
OakTree Aviation Services provides independent, USPAP-compliant aircraft appraisals for attorneys, estate executors,
trustees, and fiduciaries requiring defensible value opinions for legal and fiduciary matters.
Appraisals We Support
We prepare appraisals for estate settlements, trust administration, divorce proceedings, partnership dissolutions, charitable donations, and litigation support. Each report is developed with the documentation standards required for legal and court reliance.
What Sets Our Reports Apart
Every appraisal is based on an on-site inspection of the aircraft. We examine the airframe, engine, propeller, avionics, and interior condition firsthand and review all available logbooks and maintenance records. The result is a documented, defensible value conclusion — not a desktop estimate based on assumptions.

Pre-Purchase Appraisals
Buying an aircraft is a significant investment. A pre-purchase appraisal gives you an independent assessment of the aircraft's condition, equipment, maintenance history, and fair market value before you commit. Our reports help buyers negotiate from a position of knowledge rather than assumption.
Pre-Sale Appraisals
Sellers benefit from knowing the documented market value of their aircraft before listing. A certified appraisal provides a defensible basis for your asking price and gives prospective buyers confidence that the aircraft has been independently evaluated.
Charitable Donation Appraisals
Aircraft donated to qualified organizations with a claimed value over $5,000 require an independent appraisal for IRS reporting purposes. OakTree prepares IRS-compliant appraisals that meet the requirements of Form 8283 and support your charitable contribution deduction.
