“JUST USE THE TAX ASSESSMENT FOR THE ESTATE.”

That shortcut can create a much bigger documentation problem later.

When real estate is being valued for an estate, the important question isn't simply:

“WHAT IS THE PROPERTY WORTH TODAY?”

It's:

“WHAT WAS THE FAIR MARKET VALUE ON THE RELEVANT VALUATION DATE?”

For Form 706, the article explains that date of death is generally the default valuation date unless alternate valuation is elected.

A qualified appraisal should do more than put a number on a page.

The report should identify and support:

✔️ Effective valuation date
✔️ Property interest being valued
✔️ Applicable approaches to value
✔️ Comparable sales and adjustments
✔️ Reconciliation of the evidence
✔️ Signed certification and USPAP compliance

And if the appraisal is questioned?

That's when the workpapers matter.

The article warns about issues such as weak comparable selection, missing time adjustments, and unsupported discounts for fractional interests. Full documentation gives the appraiser a way to explain exactly how the conclusion was developed.

Executors can also make the process easier by providing the appraiser with deeds, surveys or floor plans, rent rolls for income-producing properties, tax history, and documentation of renovations or damage.

THE VALUE ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDS TO SURVIVE REVIEW.

THE EVIDENCE BEHIND IT DOES TOO.

Your property may be holding more wealth than you realize.

Equity can stay hidden when decisions are based on an old purchase price, outdated estimates, or assumptions about today’s market. A professional appraisal helps reveal what the current evidence actually supports.

You can’t use what you don’t know you have.

Multifamily property appraisals aren’t “one-size-fits-all”—they require disciplined analysis of income, market conditions, and operating fundamentals to produce a conclusion that holds up under scrutiny. Our guide breaks down the appraisal process in clear, practical terms, so attorneys, fiduciaries, and property owners understand what drives value and what standards are used. If you’re dealing with an estate, divorce settlement, tax appeal, or litigation support matter, a defensible appraisal starts with getting the methodology right. For New Jersey multifamily valuations, credibility and USPAP-compliant judgment matter.

The market changes direction.

“I SPENT $150,000 ON MY ADU.”

“SO IT ADDED $150,000 TO MY PROPERTY… RIGHT?”

Not necessarily.

One of the biggest mistakes an owner can make is treating construction cost as proof of market value.

An ADU's contributory value can depend on:

✔️ Permit status
✔️ Legal rentability
✔️ Separate entrance
✔️ Kitchen and bathroom facilities
✔️ Utility setup
✔️ Parking
✔️ Rental history
✔️ Comparable ADU sales
✔️ Local buyer demand

The article makes an especially important point:

PERMIT STATUS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.

An unpermitted ADU isn't automatically worthless. But without a clean legal record, the appraiser faces a much harder assignment—and favorable comparable or rental evidence may be harder to support.

Classification matters too.

Is the property:

A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME + ADU?

or

A TWO-FAMILY PROPERTY?

Separate utility meters, a dedicated mailing address, and prior marketing as a duplex or two-family can influence that determination. Getting the classification wrong can change the comparable pool, lending program, and even appraisal form.

And when the ADU is legally rentable?

The income approach may become important. The article notes that Form 1007 is used with market rent comparables when ADU rental income is considered.

So before spending another $20,000 on luxury finishes, make sure the basics are defensible:

PERMITS.

LEGAL USE.

LEASE HISTORY.

UTILITY DOCUMENTATION.

MARKET EVIDENCE.

Because the appraisal doesn't ask:

“WHAT DID YOU SPEND?”

It asks:

“WHAT WILL THE MARKET PAY FOR?”

A contract price shows what one buyer offered.
An appraisal examines whether the market supports it. When those numbers differ, the gap can change financing, leverage, and the entire transaction.
