Estate & Date of Death Appraisals

Estate appraisals are usually completed after the estate owner’s date of death. A general rule of thumb is that these appraisals are usually ordered between 2-6 months following the death or inheritance of a loved one. This is known as a “retrospective appraisal.” In addition to retrospective appraisals, current value appraisals may also be ordered. Current value appraisals help determine the current market value of assets that are to be sold or settled between inheritors.

Anyone involved in the estate settlement may order an estate and date of death appraisal. However, these are usually ordered by the estate’s executor or a family member, but depending on the circumstances, they may also be ordered by an accountant or lawyer. When such appraisals are ordered, it’s imperative that they are completed by a licensed estate appraiser, such as One Appraisal Group. Otherwise, the estate’s assets could be improperly valued, which could result in negative financial consequences.
