Certified Divorce and Date of Death Appraisals in Fillmore

Fillmore, nestled in Ventura County’s agricultural heartland, is known for its small-town charm, historic neighborhoods, and spacious properties. Whether you're going through a divorce or managing the estate of a loved one, a certified real estate appraisal is essential for determining fair market value, meeting legal obligations, and supporting equitable decisions.

At Pacific Home Appraisers, we provide professional Divorce Appraisals and Date of Death (Probate) Appraisals in Fillmore. With over 5,000 certified valuations completed across Southern California, our appraisals are trusted by attorneys, estate planners, fiduciaries, and courts for their accuracy, professionalism, and clarity.


Why You Need a Certified Appraisal in Fillmore

Divorce Appraisals for Equitable Asset Division

In California, marital property must be divided fairly. A certified Divorce Appraisal provides:

  • A current or retrospective market value (such as date of separation)

  • Third-party documentation accepted by courts and mediators

  • Support for spousal buyouts and refinancing negotiations

  • An objective, legally defensible valuation to reduce disputes

Whether the home is a ranch-style property, vintage Craftsman, or a newer development near Heritage Valley, our appraisals reflect the specific market dynamics of Fillmore.

Date of Death Appraisals for Probate and Estate Administration

A Date of Death Appraisal determines a property's market value as of the decedent’s passing. It is required for:

  • IRS reporting and establishing a stepped-up tax basis

  • Probate court filings and trust distribution

  • Equitable division of estate assets among heirs

  • Documentation for attorneys, CPAs, and fiduciaries
