Date-of-Death Appraisals in Monterey County
When a property owner passes away, executors, trustees and their attorneys usually need a retrospective appraisal of the commercial property as of the date of death. It establishes the heirs’ stepped-up cost basis, supports IRS filings such as Form 706, and gives the family a defensible value for dividing, selling or buying out the property. We prepare IRS-qualified, MAI-signed date-of-death appraisals of commercial property and land throughout Salinas, Monterey and the Monterey Peninsula.
