THE DATE MATTERS
The house may have changed.
The valuation date hasn’t.
A probate appraisal may look back to the date of death. It considers sales and market conditions around that date, along with evidence of the home’s condition at the time.
If the home has since been emptied, repaired or renovated, keep dated photographs and records of those changes. They help distinguish the property as it was then from the property you see today.
A planned sale or a buyout between heirs may raise a separate question about current value. Tell us how the report will be used, and confirm the required date with the estate’s attorney or tax adviser.
FROM REQUEST TO REPORT
A clear process for the home
you’re responsible for.
Keep then and now apart.
Arrange access and gather any photographs, repair records or other evidence of the home’s condition at the valuation date.
Review the report.
The report explains the market evidence, reasoning and assumptions. Check the property details and effective date, and raise factual questions with the appraiser.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
Questions an executor may have.
Do I need an appraisal for probate?
Ask the estate’s attorney what valuation evidence is needed for your filing. An appraisal can support the property value, but the estate’s circumstances determine the assignment. Confirm the report’s purpose and date before ordering.
What should I have ready?
The property address and type of home, the date of death, your role in the estate, any attorney instructions, and your deadline. If available, include dated photos, records of later repairs and details about access.
How much will it cost, and how long will it take?
We do not publish a fixed probate appraisal fee. Request a written scope, fee and delivery estimate for the specific property and valuation date. The home’s size and condition, how far back the date falls, the available records and your deadline affect the request. Confirm the quote before you commit.
