Probate Appraisals

Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person's estate, and a key step is determining the fair market value of any real property they owned. The probate court relies on this valuation to distribute assets, settle debts, and ensure the estate is handled fairly and in accordance with the law. At Precision Appraisals, we specialize in providing accurate, impartial, and fully defensible probate appraisals that meet the strict requirements of California probate courts.

What Is a Probate Appraisal?

A probate appraisal is an independent, professional valuation of real estate performed as of the date of the property owner's death (or another date specified by the court). Unlike a typical mortgage appraisal, a probate appraisal must be thoroughly documented and prepared to withstand scrutiny from the court, heirs, creditors, and other interested parties. Our reports are prepared in full compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and are accepted by probate courts throughout California.

• Executors and personal representatives who must inventory and value estate assets for the court.
