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?
During Probate Proceedings
Florida probate courts often require a certified home valuation to confirm the property’s worth at the time of death.
For Equitable Distribution
If multiple heirs or beneficiaries are involved, a third-party valuation ensures fairness in asset division.
For Tax Planning and IRS Filings
A certified appraisal helps properly assess any estate taxes owed and satisfies IRS documentation standards.
Retrospective Appraisals
We offer retrospective estate appraisals for cases where probate is delayed or revisited months or years after the date of death.
What’s Included in an Estate Appraisal Report?
Each report includes:
- Market-based property valuation
- Comparable sales data
- Photographic documentation
