Death & Probate Appraisals Questions
Can you appraise a date in the past?
Yes. Retrospective appraisals use sales data from around the effective date to determine value as of that day, even if it was months or years ago.
Is this appraisal accepted by the probate court?
Our reports are USPAP-compliant and prepared by a Michigan State Licensed Appraiser, the standard typically relied upon in probate matters. Your attorney can confirm specific court requirements.
