FAQ: Q: What is a Date of Death appraisal and why is it necessary? A: A Date of Death appraisal is a retrospective valuation that determines the fair market value of a property as of the date the owner passed away. This is essential for estate tax purposes and to establish the "stepped-up" cost basis for heirs, which can significantly reduce future capital gains tax liabilities. Q: Can an online estimate be used for probate or tax filings? A: No. Automated valuation models or online estimates are not recognized by the IRS or probate courts. These platforms lack the professional inspection, local market data, and USPAP compliance required for legal and tax proceedings. You need a certified appraisal to ensure the valuation holds up under audit. Q: How long does the appraisal take? A: Most reports are delivered within 3-5 business days.
