San Francisco

A surviving spouse remains in the home

When a spouse continues living in the property but the estate or tax file still needs an independent value.

The fact that a surviving spouse remains in the home does not eliminate the need to document value when the property is part of an estate, trust, or later financial decision.

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 appraisal can be completed with sensitivity to occupancy while legal ownership, inheritance rights, and tax treatment are handled by the appropriate advisors.
