Estate appraisal

A clear value for estate settlement.

Current or date-of-death opinions of value to support estate administration and a fair division among beneficiaries.

Settling an estate often calls for a value of the home — frequently as at the date of death. We provide an independent, documented opinion that executors and estate lawyers can rely on when administering and dividing an estate.

When it’s used

Where an estate appraisal fits.

Estate administration Provide a value for the estate’s records and reporting.
Division among beneficiaries Support an equitable split where the home is a major asset.
Retrospective date-of-death value Establish value as at the date of death where it is required.

What’s involved

How the appraisal is prepared.

Property review

We review the home’s size, condition, and features; for retrospective dates we work from records where access is limited.

Comparable sales analysis

We analyse recent sales of similar properties nearby and adjust for the differences.
