Insurance Appraisals
Insuring your home and property is important. Most insurance companies will require an up-to-date estate appraisal of your estate (or whatever assets you’re seeking to insure) in order to write a policy. Robin Jones Appraisal Service is well-respected in Santa Barbara and Southern California and can accurately assess your property for insurance valuation.
Estate Appraisals and Date-of-Death Values
- Splitting or Dividing an Estate: It’s a common practice for parents’ wills to call for equal division of assets among their children. Even in cases where the beneficiaries aren’t necessarily children, the estate must be appraised so that the executor can properly honor the wishes of the deceased.
- Taxes: The value of an estate is used by state and federal governments to determine whether your inheritance is subject to an estate tax. The total value of real estate, property, accounts, and more can all go into total estate valuation.
