What your client's file gets from us
- Contemporaneous written acknowledgment meeting §170(f)(8) requirements, issued at recording.
- Form 8283 Section B donee signature within two business days — see the FAQ below for filing-season handling.
- A written use-or-disposition statement for the property, so there are no surprises if Form 8282 reporting applies to a later sale.
- Title findings shared openly. Our free title review goes to you as well as the client — if we find a lien, an easement, or an ownership defect, you hear it first, not at signing.
Where advisors most often bring us in
- Year-end gain offsets: a client with a large realized gain donates an illiquid property in the same tax year — the strategy and the December 31 mechanics.
- Split-parcel plans: donating a slice ahead of a sale, with the assignment-of-income sequencing handled correctly — our partial donation guide covers the framework you’ll want the client to have read.
- Estate cleanup: the parcel no heir wants, resolved with one deed instead of a listing that outlives the probate — inherited land.
- The client who won’t stop paying taxes on a dead asset: you’ve told them for years; we’re the door you can finally point them through — all five exits, honestly compared.
What we won't do
We don’t provide valuations or influence appraisals — the qualified appraisal is the donor’s, independently commissioned, as the regulations require. We don’t promise acceptance before title review. And we don’t touch syndicated conservation-easement structures. If a referral doesn’t fit, you’ll get a fast, documented no — which we suspect is why advisors send the second client.
