When a loved one passes, dealing with property can be overwhelming. One essential step in the estate process is ordering a Date of Death Appraisal — a valuation of the home as of the date the person passed away.

Here’s why it matters:

✅ Required for estate tax filings

✅ Establishes a step-up in tax basis

✅ Ensures fair distribution to heirs

✅ Required by courts, probate, and attorneys

✅ Helps avoid future disputes with the IRS

An online estimate won’t cut it—this must be done by a licensed appraiser experienced in retrospective valuations.
