Estate & Trust Real Estate Appraisals in California

Settling an estate or administering a trust almost always requires an independent opinion of a property's fair market value. Executors, trustees, attorneys, and CPAs rely on a credible appraisal to value assets fairly, divide them among heirs, and document the estate for tax and court purposes.

We prepare clear, well-supported valuations for probate, trust funding and administration, estate planning, and equitable distribution. When the value is needed as of a date of death, see our date-of-death appraisal page for the retrospective approach.

Who we work with

• Executors and administrators settling a probate estate
• Trustees funding, administering, or dividing a trust
• Estate-planning and probate attorneys
• CPAs and financial advisors documenting estate assets
• Heirs seeking a fair, neutral value before dividing property

Reports are USPAP-compliant and written to be understood by non-appraisers — the people who actually have to act on them.
