Date of death valuations

Estate tax liability. Disposition of assets under a will or in probate. There are many situations -- none of them lacking stress and complexity -- where you might need an appraisal of property that states an opinion of what the property was worth on a date some time ago, rather than when the appraisal is ordered. Due to Proposition 13 in Caliornia for estate tax purposes or disposition of the assets of a decedent, a "date of death" valuation is often required. 

Attorneys, accountants, executors and others rely on Sequoia Appraisal for "date of death" valuations that will withstand IRS scrutiny because such appraisals require special expertise and training. 

Real property isn't like publicly traded stock or other items for which historical public data is available. You need a professional real estate appraiser, bound by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) for a high degree of confidentiality and professionalism, and you need the kind of quality report and work product taxing authorities and courts need and expect. 

Sequoia Appraisal will produce a supported report that will meet those expectations.
