Certified Divorce and Date of Death Appraisals in Glendale
Glendale, with its blend of classic homes, modern condominiums, and upscale hillside estates, is one of Los Angeles County’s most diverse and sought-after real estate markets. When navigating pivotal life events like a divorce or the loss of a loved one, a certified real estate appraisal offers clarity, legal compliance, and financial peace of mind.
At Pacific Home Appraisers, we specialize in Divorce Appraisals and Date of Death (Probate) Appraisals in Glendale. With more than 5,000 certified appraisals completed throughout Southern California, our reports are relied upon by attorneys, fiduciaries, mediators, and courts for their precision and objectivity.
In California, marital assets must be divided fairly. A certified Divorce Appraisal ensures:
Accurate fair market value (current or retrospective as of date of separation)
Objective, court-admissible documentation for mediation or litigation
Support for spousal buyouts or refinancing negotiations
A neutral opinion that reduces conflict and helps facilitate settlement
Whether your property is in Rossmoyne, Adams Hill, or near The Americana at Brand, we account for Glendale’s neighborhood-specific market trends.
A Date of Death Appraisal determines the fair market value of a property as of the decedent’s passing. This is critical for:
IRS tax reporting and establishing a stepped-up cost basis
Probate court and trust administration filings
Equitable distribution of estate assets among heirs
Supporting attorneys, CPAs, and estate planners with legally compliant documentation
Glendale’s market is complex and dynamic, with distinct communities that impact value. We specialize in appraising properties in areas such as:
Rossmoyne and Verdugo Woodlands – historic homes and architectural estates
Adams Hill – hillside properties with views and creative layouts
Montrose and Sparr Heights – family-friendly neighborhoods with strong school appeal
Cumberland Heights and Emerald Isle – luxury homes with privacy and land
Downtown Glendale – condominiums, mixed-use properties, and investment units
