Defensible estate appraisals for probate and settlement across Oregon and Washington

A defensible market value for settling an estate or moving through probate, documented to the standard estate attorneys and the court expect. Every report is prepared by a state certified appraiser in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

WHAT IT IS

A valuation built to settle an estate with confidence

When a property passes through an estate or probate, the people involved need a value they can rely on — one that holds up to scrutiny from attorneys, executors and the court. An estate appraisal provides an independent, well documented opinion of market value, prepared to the standard those parties expect.

Each report is grounded in market evidence, fully USPAP compliant, and delivered by a state certified residential appraiser licensed in both Oregon and Washington.

PREPARED FOR
