An estate appraisal establishes the property’s fair market value as of a specific effective date—typically the date of death.
A probate appraisal is used by attorneys or executors to meet court or IRS reporting requirements, often determining value for estate taxes or inheritance division.
Our reports comply fully with USPAP, IRS Publication 561, and local court submission standards, ensuring they are admissible and credible in any legal setting.
We discuss the purpose of the appraisal, effective date (often retrospective), and report format required by your attorney or accountant.
Depending on availability and court needs, we perform a full property inspection or retrospective desktop analysis.
We source comparable sales from the relevant time period to ensure the value reflects true market conditions at the time of death.
You’ll receive a USPAP and IRS-compliant report including photos, comparable grids, adjustments, and supporting documentation.
We coordinate directly with your attorney, fiduciary, or tax professional if additional clarification is needed.
Most reports are delivered within 1–3 business days, though larger estates or multiple properties may take longer.
