Estate & Probate Appraisal FAQs
What is a date-of-death appraisal?
An appraisal that values the property as of the day the owner passed, not today. It's used for probate inventories and to set the heirs' new tax basis.
Can you appraise a date from years ago?
Yes. Retrospective appraisals use the sales and market conditions from that time, so we can value the property as of the date of death even if it was years ago.
Do I need one if we're selling the house anyway?
Often yes. Your CPA may need the date-of-death value to calculate capital gains when the house is sold. Ask your attorney or CPA what the estate needs.
