Capital Market Appraisal provides independent residential valuations for estate settlement, estate planning, and inherited property in Washington, DC. We work with personal representatives, executors, trustees, attorneys, accountants, and families.
A date-of-death appraisal estimates a property’s value as of the date of death, even when the inspection and report take place later. This is a retrospective appraisal: the analysis considers the property’s condition and the market evidence relevant to that historical date.
Before the assignment begins, we confirm the intended use, intended users, effective date, and required definition of value. Your attorney or tax adviser should identify the date and valuation requirements appropriate to the estate. We develop an independent opinion of value supported by relevant market evidence.
Useful information includes the property address, ownership details, date of death or other requested effective date, known renovations, historical photographs, and available access. We explain any information limitations and assumptions in the report.
Request an estate or date-of-death appraisal, or email us to discuss the assignment.
