Appraisal Arizona LLC · Estate & Probate
A past date. A supported value.
Property. Purpose. Evidence.
An inherited home brings practical questions along with personal ones. Appraisal Arizona LLC provides estate, probate, and trust appraisals in Tucson and across our Southern Arizona service area, including retrospective valuations when an assignment calls for a past date of value.
A retrospective appraisal develops an opinion of value as of a specified earlier date. That may be a date of death or another date identified by the estate’s attorney or CPA. The effective date of value is different from the date the report is prepared. We discuss that date, the purpose of the appraisal, and who will use the report before work begins.
Personal representatives, trustees, attorneys, and CPAs may need a residential valuation to support estate administration or their own work. Tell us who needs the report and what instructions they have provided. An appraisal documents an opinion of value; your attorney or tax professional determines how it applies to your legal or tax circumstances.
You do not need to live in Arizona to begin an inquiry. Send the property address, requested valuation date, and the name of the person who can arrange access. We will discuss inspection needs and available historical information. Current condition alone may not describe the home’s condition on the earlier date.
Helpful information includes the parcel number if available, the requested effective date, attorney or CPA instructions, and a local access contact. Past photographs, listings, repair records, and a timeline of improvements can help explain the property’s earlier condition. Send relevant documents once we have confirmed the assignment requirements.
