Fair Market Value Appraisal as of Date of Death – Essential for Estate and Tax Purposes
A Fair Market Value Appraisal as of the Date of Death is a critical component in the estate settlement process. This retrospective appraisal determines what a property was worth at the time the decedent passed, providing an accurate, unbiased valuation used for probate, estate tax filings, and inheritance distribution.
At Pacific Home Appraisers, we specialize in delivering certified date-of-death appraisals that meet IRS, legal, and court standards. Our reports are detailed, defensible, and based on historical market data, recent comparable sales, and local market trends from the time of passing.
