Settling an estate is never easy. Whether you’re navigating a loved one’s passing, managing a trust, or planning your legacy, you need an appraisal that’s both accurate and handled with care.
At Aladdin Appraisal, we provide trusted estate appraisals for legal, financial, and tax purposes — with compassion, professionalism, and over a decade of experience in the Greater Boston area.
When Are Estate Appraisals Needed?
Estate appraisals are typically required:
To establish fair market value after a death
For estate tax filings with the IRS or Massachusetts
To assist in equitable distribution among heirs
For setting up trusts, gifting, or financial planning
To help attorneys or accountants meet court deadlines
Whether you’re an executor, family member, or professional advisor, we’ll guide you through the process and ensure you have the right valuation for your specific needs.
What Is a “Date of Death” or Retrospective Appraisal?
Many estate settlements require a retrospective appraisal, meaning the home is valued based on its condition and market value as of the date of the owner’s death — even if the appraisal is completed months later.
Other cases may call for a current market valuation, or both. We work closely with your attorney or accountant to ensure the correct appraisal is performed, so there are no surprises down the line.
