Los Angeles Probate Appraisal — FAQ
Do you provide retrospective (date-of-death) appraisals?
Yes. For probate matters requiring a prior effective date, we complete a retrospective appraisal using
time-appropriate comparable sales and narrative support to explain market conditions on that date.
What documents help you move fastest?
Effective date and deadlines, APN/address, access contacts, any prior reports, permit/upgrade list, photos,
and for condos/lofts: HOA dues & tier, amenities, parking/storage, special assessments. For
income or tenant-occupied property, include leases/rent roll if available.
How are condos and lofts handled for probate in LA?
We model HOA dues, tier/amenities, parking & storage, and any assessments. Loft nuance (ceiling height,
window-wall area, live/work qualifiers, conversion type) is paired with peer-building comps for credible adjustments.
What if the property is tenant-occupied or access is limited?
We coordinate with property managers or counsel for entry and document condition as observed. Photos avoid
personally identifiable information; occupancy and limitations are disclosed per USPAP.
How fast can you deliver a probate appraisal?
When feasible, delivery is often 2–3 business days after inspection. Share deadlines and the required
effective date up front so we can align scope and exhibits for the court.
Are your reports court-ready? Do you support clarifications?
Yes—reports are USPAP-compliant with exhibits suitable for probate files. We provide clarification letters,
reconsideration responses, and updates when requested by counsel or the court.
