Appraisals for Gilbert homes in Maricopa County, Arizona, each prepared for one property, one purpose and one effective date. Each service below names the Arizona statute or county office behind the request, so you can arrive with the right date and the right people named.
Estate Appraisals
An inherited Gilbert home usually needs its value on the date of death rather than today. Arizona has no estate, inheritance or gift tax, yet that date-of-death value generally sets the heirs' federal basis.
- ✓ Date-of-death or other agreed effective date
- ✓ The home's condition on that date
- ✓ Community or separate property flagged for your adviser
- ✓ Written scope before work begins
Probate Appraisals
An Arizona personal representative inventories the estate within 90 days of appointment, at date-of-death fair market value; under A.R.S. § 14-3707, hiring an appraiser is optional.
- ✓ Inventory value as of the date of death
- ✓ Estates before the Superior Court in Maricopa County
- ✓ Small-estate affidavit questions
- ✓ Purpose and date confirmed with your attorney
Divorce Appraisals
Arizona divides community property equitably under A.R.S. § 25-318, and no statute fixes the valuation date; your attorney or the court supplies it.
- ✓ Effective date agreed before the assignment
- ✓ Intended users named in advance
- ✓ Family Department cases in Maricopa County
- ✓ Access and condition records
IRS Step-Up Appraisals
Retrospective values dated to the day the federal basis rule uses. In Arizona, a community property state, a surviving spouse's half may also be adjusted; your tax adviser confirms it.
- ✓ Retrospective effective date
- ✓ Condition as it was then
- ✓ Sales from the relevant period
- ✓ Adviser-confirmed use
Residential Appraisals
Single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes and small multi-unit properties across Gilbert, including values that support a petition to the Maricopa County Assessor.
- ✓ The kind of home and its features
- ✓ Who will receive the report
- ✓ The date the value should reflect
- ✓ Scope settled before the inspection
Rush Appraisals
A 90-day probate inventory, a 60-day valuation appeal window or a mediation date can leave little room. Ask early whether an earlier delivery date is workable for your property.
- ✓ Your exact deadline
- ✓ Who can provide access, and when
- ✓ Research and reporting the purpose requires
- ✓ Availability confirmed for each request
Not sure which appraisal you need?
Send the Gilbert address, what the appraisal is for and the effective date, and we will point you to the matching service. Ask for a written scope, fee and delivery estimate; it should be settled before anyone books work or plans a deadline around the report.
