Appraisal Service
Estate and Probate Appraisals
Written valuations to help executors, administrators and families account for residential real property.
How this service works
Settling an estate takes patience, and the family home is often the largest single asset. I prepare an independent written appraisal that gives the executor, the attorney and the family a documented opinion of value to work from.
When this service may be a fit
- An estate is being inventoried or administered
- Heirs need a documented value to divide property fairly
- An attorney or accountant has asked for a written appraisal
- The property is being prepared for sale or transfer
What to expect
- Step 1We confirm who the client is, who will use the report, and the effective date required
- Step 2I arrange access with the executor, family member or agent
- Step 3I inspect and measure the home and research market data for the effective date
- Step 4I deliver the written report for the estate file and its intended users
Important limits on this service
- I am not an attorney, CPA or tax professional, and I do not advise on estate or tax strategy.
