Historical Value for Inherited Novato Property

Inherited real estate may require a supported fair market value as of a date of death or another applicable historical date for estate and tax-basis records.

Current Value Is Not Historical Basis

The appraisal should reflect Novato sales and market conditions associated with the historical effective date rather than today's pricing.

Later Development Cannot Be Projected Backward

Hamilton's residential redevelopment and other later housing created buyer alternatives that may not have existed on an older date of death.

Later Property Improvements Must Also Be Separated

Additions, remodeling, accessory units, landscaping, pools, and condition changes completed after the valuation date should not automatically be included.

For probate, estate settlement, trust administration, IRS reporting, and stepped-up basis purposes in this area, see the main Novato date of death appraisal page or the broader James Valdez appraisal service areas.
