When real estate is inherited, a supported Date of Death value may be needed to document the property's tax basis. The appraisal provides historical market evidence that can be retained with estate and CPA records.
A property may sell months or years after the owner dies. Changes in market conditions, property condition, remodeling, financing, or buyer demand can cause the later sale price to differ from the fair market value that existed on the date of death.
If heirs remodel, repair, clean out, landscape, or otherwise improve the property after the date of death, those later improvements should not automatically be attributed to the historical value. The appraisal should reconstruct the property as it existed on the effective date.
Historical comparable sales should come from the market segment that competed with the subject property at the time. Roseville's older neighborhoods, master-planned communities, age-restricted developments, attached housing, luxury segments, and newer subdivisions may not be interchangeable.
A retrospective appraisal creates documentation showing how the Date of Death value was developed from historical market evidence rather than relying only on a current estimate, tax assessment, or later transaction.
