Estate and Probate Real Estate Appraisals
When an estate needs clarity, you need a valuation that is neutral, accurate, and easy to defend. We provide professionally supported residential valuations for estate settlement, executor duties, probate filings, inheritance distribution, and retrospective fair market value reporting across the GTA and surrounding areas.
Executors, trustees, lawyers, accountants, and families rely on our work because it is clear, methodical, and grounded in evidence. Whether you need a date of death valuation, a historical market reconstruction, or a current value to guide an estate sale, we deliver reporting that stands up to legal and administrative review.
Here is the thing. When someone passes away, the property is usually the largest asset in the estate. It is also the part that creates the most uncertainty. Executors must file accurate numbers with the court. Accountants need defensible values for CRA. Families want a fair process without conflict. And when multiple beneficiaries are involved, everyone wants clarity they can trust.
Estate and probate appraisals must anchor value to a specific moment in time. Sometimes it is the date of death. Sometimes it is another historical date tied to a will, trust setup, or legal instruction. Other times the estate needs a current valuation for a sale, buyout, or equalization.
Advanced Appraisals provides independent, standards compliant estate and probate valuations across the GTA and surrounding areas. Every file is completed with accuracy, respect, and a strong understanding of how estate administration really works.
A defensible appraisal protects executors, trustees, and families from disputes, tax issues, and administrative delays. Estate administration works smoothly only when the valuation is neutral, well supported, and easy to explain.
