Why Choose a Date of Death Appraisal?

Real estate values are dynamic and ever-changing, requiring the expertise of a skilled appraiser to determine the property's worth on a specific date in the past. Unlike publicly traded assets, historical public data for real property is unavailable, making it essential to hire a local appraiser with expertise in evaluating past comparable properties and market trends.

When Should You Schedule a Date of Death Appraisal?

Why Do You Need a Date of Death Appraisal?

A Date of Death Appraisal is essential for calculating estate tax liabilities related to real estate. Even if the property's value falls below the federal estate tax exemption, the complex tax code necessitates a professional appraisal. Delaying the appraisal for several years can complicate the process and increase costs.

For properties transferred or gifted to new individuals or entities, establishing a "basis" is crucial for measuring future capital gains, losses, or estate taxes. Consultation with a tax professional or attorney is advisable for further guidance on estate settlement matters.
