Date of Death Valuations

Estate tax appraisals, probate appraisals, and date of death real estate valuations require specialized knowledge, extensive market research, and experience in retrospective residential property appraisal services. MJ Appraisal Associates, LLC provides professional date of death appraisals throughout New Jersey for estate settlement, probate proceedings, inheritance distribution, estate tax reporting, and legal matters involving residential real estate valuation.

A date of death appraisal determines the fair market value of a property as of a specific retrospective date, often required for IRS estate tax purposes, probate court proceedings, trust administration, or disposition of assets under a will. In some cases, executors may elect an alternate valuation date six months after the decedent’s passing, requiring the same detailed retrospective appraisal methodology and market analysis.

Attorneys, accountants, executors, estate representatives, and heirs rely on Michael J. Ganguzza and MJ Appraisal Associates, LLC for accurate, defensible, and well-supported retrospective appraisals. With over 25 years of experience as a licensed New Jersey Real Estate Appraiser and Licensed Realtor, Michael provides detailed market research, comparable sales analysis, and professional valuation reports tailored for complex estate and probate matters throughout Sussex County, Morris County, Warren County, Bergen County, Passaic County, and Northern New Jersey.

Unlike publicly traded stocks or other financial assets, residential real estate values are highly influenced by local market conditions, comparable sales, property condition, location, economic trends, and supply and demand factors. Because real estate values can fluctuate significantly over time and historical market data often requires extensive research and analysis, accurate property valuation requires the expertise of a licensed professional real estate appraiser.
