- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
When should a date of death appraisal be done?
A date of death appraisal should be done when the executor or administrator of an estate needs to determine the value of the assets for probate or estate tax purposes. It is typically done as close to the date of death as possible.
What does FMV on date of death appraisal mean?
FMV stands for Fair Market Value, and it refers to the value of an asset in an open and competitive market. In the context of a date of death appraisal, it refers to the value of the assets in the estate on the date of the decedent's death.
What is the purpose of a date of death appraisal?
The purpose of a date of death appraisal is to determine the fair market value (FMV) of the assets in the estate on the date of the decedent's death. This information is used for probate and estate tax purposes, and helps ensure that the estate is properly valued for distribution to the beneficiaries.
What happens if the market has changed since the date of death?
If the market has changed since the date of death, the value of the assets may be different from the value determined by the date of death appraisal. In these cases, a new appraisal may be necessary to accurately reflect the current market value.
