Ray Lott & Associates, Inc. is a full
service forestry consulting firm that provides virtually all services
desired by timberland owners, or anyone needing professional forestry
and timber or timberland expertise. |
|
Timber sales are a typical service
we provide. This includes selling timber for landowners so they receive
the maximum price and suffer the least site damage.
|
|
Our timber management and
forest management services, the process of making timber more
productive, can improve the financial and aesthetic returns of timber.
Selling only selected timber, compared to a clear cut, is
recommended for many timber stands. This usually requires marking each
individual tree to be sold. This allows you to earn money from your
timber periodically through the years. |
|
We provide timber litigation
support for most legal problems such as trespass, timber theft
and contract disputes.
|
|
A timber appraisal should be part of your
planning process before selling or buying timberland. We provide
timber appraisals for all purposes, including bank loans.
|
|
IRS taxes on timber transactions
can involve many issues. One is cost basis, which can reduce the
taxes you pay on timber sale income. We provide both current and
retroactive cost basis values. Cost basis on inherited timberland
can be particularly advantageous.
|
|
We are located in the border city
of Texarkana, Texas/Arkansas. Our full line of services are
provided in the states of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
For select projects, our services are provided anywhere in the United
States or the world.
