What Is an Estate Appraisal?

An estate appraisal determines the fair market value of a property as of a specific date — typically the date of a person’s passing. This value is essential for:


  • Probate court documentation

  • Inheritance division among beneficiaries

  • Estate tax filings with the IRS

  • Asset verification for trusts and wills

Our reports are prepared to meet the standards of probate courts, attorneys, CPAs, and financial planners.

When Do You Need an Estate Appraisal?

For Equitable Distribution

If multiple heirs or beneficiaries are involved, a third-party valuation ensures fairness in asset division.
