????

With its blend of luxury estates, gated communities, and suburban comfort, Tarzana presents a diverse and dynamic real estate market. During major life events like divorce or the loss of a loved one, an accurate real estate appraisal becomes essential. Whether you're dividing marital property or navigating probate, a certified appraisal ensures fairness, legal compliance, and peace of mind.

Backed by over 5,000 completed appraisals across Southern California, our certified reports are trusted by attorneys, mediators, courts, estate planners, and financial professionals.


Why You Need a Certified Appraisal in Tarzana

1. Divorce Appraisals for Equitable Property Division

In California, community property laws require fair division of assets—including real estate. A certified Divorce Appraisal provides:

  • A clear, impartial assessment of market value (current or retrospective)

  • Legal documentation for spousal buyouts and refinancing

  • Court-admissible reports for litigation or mediation

  • A neutral third-party opinion to help prevent disputes

Whether you're dealing with a gated estate south of the boulevard or a remodeled ranch in the valley flats, we tailor the valuation to your property and neighborhood.

2. Date of Death Appraisals for Probate and Estate Settlement

A Date of Death Appraisal determines the fair market value of a property on the date of a decedent’s passing. This appraisal is required for:

  • Establishing a stepped-up tax basis for estate reporting

  • Probate court filings and trust administration

  • Equitable distribution of real estate among heirs

  • Legal support for CPAs, fiduciaries, and estate attorneys
