Date of Death Appraisal

Real estate appraisal services and personal property appraisals are needed for both tax planning purposes prior to a property owner’s death, and for settling the estate after death. Settling an estate is one of those things that most people know little about until they actually go through the experience. An estate, probate, or trust appraisal can be requested by: the executor/ administrators, attorneys, accountants, and trustees. Having a professional appraisal from Cobb County Home Appraiser gives the executor solid facts and figures to work. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is challenged. Cobb County Home Appraiser is acutely aware of the level of detail and attention required for estate and date of death appraisals.

Date of death appraisals, or “retrospective” appraisals, are fairly common in estate settlement situations. These involve appraising a home based on a ‘prior date’ which is typically the owner’s date of death. In addition to needing a date of death appraisal during the settlement process, often times the ordering party will also request a ‘current value’ appraisal in order to determine current market value for purposes of sale or settlement between heirs.
