Home Appraisal After Death

Berkeley estate appraisals — document condition and additions so the date-of-death value reflects the real property.

Meet James Valdez

Overview

Partial remodels, hillside access, and older additions show up often enough that preparation matters. An after-death appraisal documents value as of the date of death with those realities included. Walk the property once, note unfinished work, and describe accessory spaces accurately.

What to keep in mind

  • Note unfinished projects before the inspection
  • Describe accessory living spaces accurately
  • Appraisal and CPA work usually belong together for basis support

Who usually leads this question

Independent residential property valuation — including date-of-death or historical value — is an appraisal question. Legal authority, tax elections, and planning remain with those professionals.
