(Newswire.net — April 22, 2016) Carlsbad, California — A death in the family can happen at any time. When a loved one passes away, the property owned by the deceased may be distributed to living family members. At TCO Appraisals in Carlsbad, California, estate and inheritance property appraisals are some of the company’s many specialties. Company president Todd Ortlieb recently spoke about some of the issues family members may face when dealing with a property appraisal for estate planning or inheritance purposes. “Property appraisals may be needed for tax purposes,” says Todd. “In the case of transfer of ownership due to a death in the family, the family may choose an appraiser or one will be appointed by an attorney.” To learn more about estate appraisal services offered by the company, visit www.sandiegoresidentialappraiser.com/estate-and-date-of-death-appraisals.
Typically, estate appraisals occur within two to six months of the death of the property owner. Retrospective appraisals, sometimes referred to as “date of death” appraisals, are usually conducted. Current property valuations to determine current market value may also be required in cases where property sales or settlements are occurring. An expert property appraisal service such as TCO Appraisals can handle these particular tasks and more. The company has worked with San Diego-area attorneys, accountants, and financial professionals for over 20 years, assisting customers with fair, objective, and accurate property value assessments for a multitude of purposes. In addition to estate planning appraisals, Todd’s company performs appraisals for divorce settlements, bankruptcies, tax assessments, and home mortgage lending.
People needing an estate or inheritance appraisal must understand exactly what type of appraisal is needed. There are a number of reasons why such an appraisal is required, and consulting with an attorney or financial expert is always a good idea. “Date of Death appraisals may be needed for things like estate taxes, probate, and equitable distribution of property to surviving family members,” adds Todd. “Advance planning for the future with an estate planning appraisal is another good option, as it adds peace of mind for the property owner.” TCO Appraisals serves the communities of San Diego County and Southern California with quick service and the reputation for excellence the company has developed over 20 years in the field.
