Alameda County
An heir is already living in the property
When one beneficiary occupies the inherited home and the family needs a neutral value before deciding whether that arrangement will continue.
Occupancy by an heir can make sale, rent, expense, and buyout discussions more personal because the property is both an asset and someone’s home.
Alameda County includes dense urban neighborhoods, older East Bay housing, hillside properties, suburban communities, and homes that have remained in the same family for decades.
An independent appraisal separates the value question from decisions about possession, reimbursement, rent, or transfer, which belong with the family and its advisors.
