Marin County
Property demolished after death
When the improvements were removed after death and a retrospective value may still be needed as of an earlier date.
In Marin County, hillside, village, Bay-facing, and West Marin homes each bring their own condition and access realities after a death, and those facts belong in the estate file early. Property demolished after death is one of the condition and occupancy situations that regularly shows up in estate work here.
Demolition after death can still leave a retrospective valuation need if prior improvements are evidenced.
For this Marin County situation, gather pre-demolition photos, permits, old listings, and the effective date required for retrospective valuation.
James provides independent residential appraisal and, where appropriate, consulting on whether repairs or remodeling before sale make market sense. He does not provide legal, tax, title, permit, or estate-administration advice; those questions stay with the attorney, CPA, and other Core 4 professionals.
