Appraisers for executors
When the estate needs a date-of-death valuation for tax or court filings, or when significant personal property (jewelry, art, business interests) needs an objective valuation.
What to look for
- Accredited — USPAP-compliant for most appraisals; ASA, AAA, or ISA membership for personal property.
- Specialized — real estate, business, jewelry/art, and equipment are different specialties.
- Provides written reports that hold up to IRS or court scrutiny.
- No conflict of interest with the realtor or estate-sale company.
Questions to ask
- What's your typical fee — hourly, per item, or per report?
- Are your reports USPAP-compliant and acceptable for IRS / court purposes?
- How long until I have the report?
- Can you provide a date-of-death valuation in addition to current value?

How we make money
Listed professionals pay ExecutorHome a per-introduction fee. We disclose this clearly because trust matters. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and you are under no obligation to hire any matched professional.
