Overview

Step-up conversations go better with a short, organized file: photos of the property, key ownership documents, and a plan for appraisal when real estate value is the missing piece. This Concord guide frames the tax concept and the practical next documents to collect before you call a CPA.

What to keep in mind

  • Photograph property condition for the valuation file
  • Ask the CPA what they need beyond an online estimate
  • A date-of-death appraisal keeps the tax conversation grounded
