Probate Appraisal Services

Professional Valuations for Estates, Trusts, IRS Filings, and Court Proceedings

Accurate real estate valuations are essential to the probate and estate settlement process. Whether for court filings, IRS reporting, or equitable distribution among heirs, I provide certified, USPAP-compliant appraisals tailored to the specific requirements of probate, trust, and estate administration.

As a licensed real estate appraiser with experience in probate valuations across San Diego County, I understand the importance of timeliness, discretion, and accuracy during this sensitive process.

What I Offer:

  • Date of Death Appraisals
    Retrospective valuations as of the date the decedent passed, commonly required for IRS estate tax filings and probate court.

  • Current Market Valuations
    Useful for estate planning, asset division among heirs, IRS basis step-up documentation, or pre-listing decisions.

  • Trust and Estate Administration Reports
    Clear, court-ready documents that help fiduciaries and attorneys fulfill their legal and IRS-related obligations.

  • Partial or Fractional Interest Appraisals
    When property ownership is shared among multiple heirs or beneficiaries, often used in IRS reporting for non-controlling interests.
