Overview
Market conversation is loud. For estate and tax purposes, you usually want a proper date-of-death appraisal, not a quick seller opinion. Know the difference, prepare cleanly, and use the report to support CPA guidance afterward.
Home Appraisal After Death

What to keep in mind
- Listing opinions are not the same as estate appraisal assignments
