Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an appraisal when settling or planning an estate?
A professional appraisal documents the fair market value of a property, which helps when you are selling it, transferring ownership to an heir, or planning how an estate will be divided. The value comes from an impartial appraiser with no emotional interest in the outcome. Your lawyer or accountant can confirm which valuations your situation requires.
What is a date-of-death appraisal?
It is an appraisal that states what a property was worth on the date a person passed away. Because it values the property at a past date, it is a type of retrospective appraisal. Estate trustees often ask for one when dividing an estate or reporting for tax.
Can an appraisal help me appeal my property tax assessment?
It can help. In Ontario, property tax is based on the assessed value set by MPAC. If you believe your assessed value is higher than the market value, an appraisal gives you evidence to support an appeal. An appraisal does not guarantee a reduction.
Do I need an appraisal to apply for a loan secured by the property?
Usually. If you use the property as collateral, many banks and private lenders require an appraisal, and it also gives you a clear picture of the value of what you are pledging.
Can an appraisal help when a property is transferred to an heir or sold?
Yes. An independent valuation gives everyone involved a neutral figure to work from, whether the property is being sold, transferred or divided. Our reports explain the factors that raise or lower the value, so beneficiaries can see how the figure was reached.
How much does an estate appraisal cost?
There is no fixed price, because every estate is different. The cost depends on the property and what the valuation needs to achieve. Call or email us for a quote.
Are your appraisers certified?
Yes. Our appraisers are certified professionals, and our vetting process is stringent, so every file is handled by a qualified appraiser.
