Executors, trustees, heirs, attorneys, and CPAs may need an independent appraisal when Lafayette real estate must be documented, distributed, retained, or sold.
An estate may need current fair market value for a sale or distribution, or a prior-date value for estate and tax records. The effective date should match the actual purpose of the assignment.
Lafayette has many custom and extensively remodeled homes rather than uniform tract housing. Lot utility, privacy, quality, condition, topography, and improvements can create large differences between nearby properties.
The appraisal documents the relevant market evidence, comparable sales, adjustments, effective date, and reconciliation supporting the value used for the estate decision.
