What Is a Date of Death Appraisal?

A date of death appraisal determines the fair market value of a property as of the date a homeowner passed away. This type of appraisal is commonly needed for estate settlement, probate, inheritance matters, tax reporting, and other legal or financial purposes.

Because real estate values change over time, a date of death appraisal requires careful analysis of market conditions that existed on the specific valuation date. A professional appraisal provides an independent opinion of value supported by market data and comparable sales from that time period.
