    Date of Death Valuation

    IRS-compliant valuations for estate tax and stepped-up basis

    A date-of-death valuation establishes the fair market value of real property as of the decedent's exact date of death for federal estate tax (Form 706) and stepped-up basis purposes. Our retrospective reports are IRS-compliant, USPAP-conforming, and prepared by state-certified residential appraisers with decades of estate experience.

    We research historical sales, adjustments, and market conditions specific to that date to deliver bulletproof documentation.

    Is a date-of-death valuation the same as a probate appraisal?

    Very similar—both are usually retrospective, but date-of-death is specifically for IRS stepped-up basis and estate tax.

    How do you determine value on a past date?

    We use MLS data, public records, and historical market trends from that exact time period.

    Can you also provide an alternate valuation date (6 months later)?

    Yes—many estates elect the alternate date to reduce tax liability; we provide both when requested.

    How much does it cost?

    $650–$1,400 based on property complexity and age of valuation date.

    How long does it take?

    7–14 business days standard; rush service available.
