Hear What Our Clients Are Saying About Working With Mike
The death of a loved one can be a very difficult time emotionally and logistically as there is a lot for the executor of a will to do. As an executor, you have to work closely with real estate professionals to facilitate the settlement process and most importantly, to fulfill the wishes of the departed loved one as accurately as possible.
A date of death appraisal is crucial for the executor when liquidating or valuing a home after the owner passes. Such an appraisal requires special expertise so, if needed, it can hold up in court.
Estate & Trust Appraisals
MUST Meet 4 Legal Standards
When an estate has a transfer of ownership due to death or inheritance, it is very common for a real estate appraisal to be needed for tax purposes. Typically, an executor, family member or heir chooses an appraiser for the job, or an attorney or accountant will order the appraisal.
Mike will provide accurate, ethical date of death appraisals that executors, lawyers, CPAs and tax professionals can rely on. His expertise and knowledge of the estate valuation process will meet standards required by all parties involved.
Sooner is always better. The task of ascertaining the value of a home at the time of death is easily accomplished if not too much time has passed. You'll need to have a certified appraisal dated for "the date of death."
In many cases, a Date of Death appraisal is ordered between two to six months after the death has occurred. While every situation is different, Mike strives to provide his esteemed clients with the best possible experience, regardless of their needs or the elapsed time.
