Date-of-death or current value for probate and trust administration.
An Estate appraisal establishes a defensible fair market value for a vehicle as of a specific date — typically date of death — for probate, trust administration, or estate tax purposes, following USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) methodology. Executors and heirs need a number that will hold up if the IRS, a court, or a co-beneficiary asks how it was reached.
Executors, administrators, and heirs who need an independent vehicle valuation as part of settling an estate, including small-estate affidavit filings where a vehicle's value has to be documented.
From $595 for a Virtual Appraisal, with the exact price shown before you pay — no deposit and no quote request. Luxury makes and higher-value vehicles are priced a level up, and optional extras (printed copy, second value, alternate valuation date) are added only if you choose them. Delivered within 72 hours (business days) of your complete photos and details. See the full price list.
