Marin 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.

Marin County estates may include hillside and view homes, custom residences, condominiums, waterfront-influenced property, ADUs, and homes owned by the same family for many years.

Before-and-after photographs, invoices, permits, contractor records, listings, and family recollections can help distinguish later improvements from the earlier condition.
