WHY AN ESTATE APPRAISAL?

A reliable opinion of value for an important point in time.

Estate settlement may require an opinion of a property's market value as of the date of death or another prior effective date. These assignments are often retrospective, meaning the appraisal is developed using market information and conditions that existed as of that historical date.

Jakway Appraisals provides residential estate, date-of-death and retrospective appraisal services throughout Syracuse, Onondaga County, Madison County and Oswego County. Each assignment is handled directly by Jason Jakway, with 25 years of residential appraisal experience.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Estate appraisal FAQ.

What is a date-of-death appraisal?

A date-of-death appraisal is a retrospective opinion of market value developed as of the property owner's date of death rather than today's date.

Can you appraise a property as of a date several years ago?

Yes. A retrospective appraisal can be developed for a prior effective date when sufficient relevant market data is available for analysis.

Do I need to know exactly what appraisal I need before calling?

No. Explain the situation and the property involved. I can help identify the information needed to determine whether I can assist with the assignment.

Who typically orders estate appraisals?
