A Monte Sereno stepped-up basis appraisal documents the historical fair market value of inherited real estate as of the applicable date of death.
Bay Area Date of Death Appraiser › Monte Sereno Date of Death Appraisal › Stepped-Up Basis Appraisal
Inherited real estate may need a supported historical fair market value for estate and tax-basis records. The appraisal develops that value as of the applicable historical effective date.
Current pricing cannot substitute for the market that existed on the date of death. Historical sales and market conditions from the relevant period must support the conclusion.
Monte Sereno properties may undergo substantial remodeling, expansion, landscaping, or site improvements. Changes completed after the effective date should not be included in the earlier value.
Lot utility, architecture, privacy, topography, views, condition, and luxury-market competition can materially affect value. Broad city or county statistics are rarely sufficient for a specific property.
