Settling an estate in Ventura requires a precise, court-compliant property valuation based on the decedent’s date of passing. Pacific Home Appraisers offers expert Date-of-Death Appraisal services in Ventura, delivering retrospective valuations trusted by attorneys, CPAs, and estate administrators.
With over 5,000 appraisals completed since 2005, we understand the nuances of Ventura’s real estate—from hillside homes with ocean views in Ondulando to classic bungalows in Midtown and coastal residences near the Ventura Pier. We provide accurate, legally defensible reports tailored for probate, IRS filings, and trust distribution.
A Date-of-Death Appraisal, also known as a Retrospective Appraisal, determines a property’s fair market value as of the exact date the property owner passed away. This appraisal type is essential for:
Probate court submissions
IRS estate tax filings and step-up basis calculations
Equitable distribution of assets to heirs
Trust administration and legal documentation
Estate planning and financial disclosures
These reports reflect the market conditions that existed at the date of death—not current values.
