# Estate, trust, and probate valuation

**An estate or probate valuation begins by identifying the property, the effective date, the person or institution that will use the result, and the decision it must support. A court, attorney, fiduciary, or tax requirement may affect the scope, so confirm those requirements before ordering work.**



## Information that can clarify scope

- Property address and type
- The estate, trust, or probate question the valuation needs to address
- Required effective date and any filing or hearing deadline
- The intended user and any instructions from an attorney or fiduciary
- Available property records, plans, and improvement details

## Coordinate with the right adviser

A valuation does not provide legal or tax advice and does not determine what a court, fiduciary, or taxing authority will accept. Confirm procedural requirements with the attorney, fiduciary, or tax professional responsible for the matter before work is commissioned.
