Alameda County
The property was improved after the date of death
When renovations, repairs, additions, or cleanup occurred after death and the estate still needs the earlier value.
The property visible today may be materially different from the property that existed on the historical effective date.
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.
Before-and-after photographs, invoices, permits, contractor records, listings, and family recollections can help distinguish later improvements from the earlier condition.
