Probate Appraisal
A probate appraisal is used to establish the fair market value of assets as of the date of death. This type of appraisal typically includes all assets owned by an individual at the time they passed away. The purpose of a probate appraisal is to ensure that all assets are properly accounted for and that taxes are paid accordingly. It is also used to determine how much each asset should be worth for tax purposes.
Estate Settlement Appraisal
An estate settlement appraisal is used to determine the fair market value on certain assets at the time they are sold or transferred from one person to another during estate administration proceedings. This type of appraisal is often necessary when dealing with complex trusts or when there are multiple beneficiaries involved in an estate settlement process. It helps to ensure that each beneficiary receives their fair share based on current market values.
Date of Death Appraisal
A date-of-death appraisal establishes the fair market value of property as it existed on the day an individual passed away. This type of appraisal is typically only necessary when it comes to determining tax liability or distributing assets according to a will or trust agreement. It can also be used when trying to determine if there was a gain or loss in value since death occurred as well as establishing any other relevant details regarding dates and values associated with particular transactions related to estate administration proceedings.
Retrospective Appraisal
Retrospective appraisals are used when evaluating properties over an extended period of time, usually two years prior up until death occurred or two years after until present day (whichever comes first). This type of evaluation helps individuals understand how much their property has changed in value over time and can be useful when determining tax liabilities or other financial obligations associated with owning a particular piece of real estate property over a period longer than one year's span (which would normally require separate appraisals).
