Losing a loved one is never easy, and during this challenging time, navigating legal and financial matters can feel overwhelming. At Maverick AG, we aim to provide compassionate and professional assistance with our date-of-death appraisal services, offering you accurate and reliable property valuations tailored to your needs.

What is the Date of Death Appraisal?

A Date of Death Appraisal is a specialized property appraisal conducted to determine the fair market value of real estate as of a specific date—typically the date of a loved one’s passing. This type of appraisal is often required for estate planning, probate proceedings, tax assessments, or equitable property distribution among heirs.

Why is it Important?

Understanding the value of real estate on the date of death is crucial for:

• Estate Tax Calculation: Accurately determining the value of real estate owned by the deceased individual is essential for calculating estate taxes. This ensures compliance with federal and state tax regulations and prevents potential legal or financial complications.

• Probate and Legal Requirements: When settling an estate, probate courts and legal proceedings often require documentation of the value of real estate. This information is necessary to navigate the probate process and fulfill legal obligations related to property distribution.

• Fair Distribution: Real estate valuation helps facilitate the equitable division of assets among beneficiaries. By understanding the property’s value, executors can ensure that each beneficiary receives their rightful share based on their proportionate entitlement.

• Financial Planning: Accurate real estate valuation provides executors and heirs with essential information for economic planning purposes. It helps them make informed final decisions regarding the estate, such as selling the property, retaining it for rental income, or transferring ownership to beneficiaries.

Our Process

• Initial Consultation: We set about by engaging in an in-depth discussion with you to learn about your specific interests and gather all the necessary details about the property.
