What Makes an Inheritance Appraisal “Court-Ready” in Los Angeles
We produce USPAP-compliant residential valuations for estates, executors, and attorneys across the City of Los Angeles — tailored for probate, IRS reporting, and equitable distribution.
Effective Date Clarity
We confirm the proper effective date—usually the date-of-death or the alternate valuation date (6-month rule)—and document it clearly throughout the report and certification.
Paired Sales + Time Adjustments
We build a comp set around the effective date, apply market-supported time adjustments, and include commentary so attorneys, courts, and the IRS can follow the logic without guessing.
Complex LA Factors, Addressed
- Hillside/view & coastal influence adjustments
