What Is a Guardianship Appraisal?

A guardianship appraisal determines the fair market value of real property held under court-appointed or legal guardianship.
Courts and fiduciaries use these valuations to:

  • Approve property sales or transfers
  • Document financial asset value for reporting
  • Evaluate fair market rent or liquidation potential
  • Ensure accurate recordkeeping for court and beneficiaries
  • Support annual accounting or fiduciary statements

Each report includes detailed analysis, market comparables, and certification in accordance with USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice).
