San Francisco
The property was transferred before the owner died
When title changed before death and the professionals involved need a property value tied to the transfer date, death date, or both.
A prior transfer to a trust, relative, co-owner, or other entity can create uncertainty about which date and ownership interest should be appraised.
San Francisco estates frequently involve long-held homes, condominiums, two-to-four-unit buildings, tenant-occupied property, altered living areas, and properties with highly specific neighborhood appeal.
The ordering party should confirm the required effective date and intended use with the attorney or CPA before the appraisal scope is finalized.
