Los Angeles Trust Appraisal — Frequently Asked Questions
ⓘ What’s the difference between current value and a retrospective (date-of-death) appraisal?
A current appraisal reflects today’s Los Angeles market value. A retrospective or “date-of-death” trust appraisal determines property value as of a prior date, often needed for probate or estate taxes. We provide full documentation, market time adjustments, and clear exhibits for informed tax or legal review.
ⓘ Can you support step-up in basis and trustee allocations?
Yes. Our trust and estate appraisals include effective date analysis, paired sales, and supporting exhibits so attorneys and fiduciaries can easily reference step-up in basis and allocation structures for Los Angeles properties.
ⓘ What if the home is tenant-occupied or access is limited?
We coordinate timely access with proper notice and document condition carefully. If interior access isn’t possible, we provide options for an exterior-only or “extraordinary assumptions” assignment per USPAP standards, always discussing your circumstances first.
ⓘ Timeline—how fast can trust or probate appraisals be completed?
Most Los Angeles trust appraisals are delivered within a few business days of inspection and document receipt. Rush options are available in 2–3 business days for urgent court or tax deadlines.
ⓘ Do you handle condos/lofts and 2–4 unit properties?
Absolutely. We document HOA dues, amenities, parking, and assessments for condos/lofts, and review utility splits and market-based adjustments for 2–4 unit buildings common in Los Angeles.
ⓘ Can you value fractional or undivided interests?
We routinely appraise the full property. For complex fractional or undivided interest scenarios, we’ll scope all factors and, when needed, refer valuation specialists.
ⓘ Is expert testimony or a sworn declaration available?
Yes. Our experts offer clarification letters, sworn declarations, and court testimony for LA trust or probate appraisals—just request as needed through legal counsel.
