Date of Death Appraisals: Expert Guidance During a Difficult Time

Losing a loved one is a deeply personal and challenging experience. During this difficult time, settling their estate adds another layer of complexity. At RU Appraisals, LLC, we offer compassionate and expert "date of death" appraisal services to assist attorneys, accountants, executors, and families in navigating this process. We understand the sensitivity of these situations and are committed to providing accurate and reliable valuations for estate tax purposes, probate, and asset disposition.

Why Date of Death Appraisals are Essential:

For estate tax filings and the distribution of assets, a valuation of the property as of the date of death is often required. This retroactive valuation demands specialized expertise and a thorough understanding of historical market conditions. Unlike assets with readily available historical data, real estate values fluctuate significantly. A well-supported appraisal is crucial for ensuring fair and accurate estate settlement.
