A CPA or estate professional may need a supported historical fair market value when Lafayette real estate is inherited. The appraisal develops value as of the applicable Date of Death.
A later sale or current estimate does not establish what the property was worth when the owner died. Sales and market conditions surrounding the historical date must be analyzed directly.
Properties near the Lafayette Reservoir, central Lafayette, or more secluded hillside settings may attract different buyers. Views, privacy, usable land, condition, and site characteristics must be considered within the historical market.
Repairs or remodeling completed after the Date of Death should not automatically be included in the historical value. The analysis should reflect the property as it existed on the effective date.
For probate, estate settlement, trust administration, IRS reporting, and stepped-up basis purposes in this area, see the main Lafayette date of death appraisal page or the broader James Valdez appraisal service areas.
