Zillow and online estimates are not accepted by courts, attorneys, or the IRS. For trust or probate purposes, you need a licensed appraiser to provide a USPAP-compliant appraisal report—especially if the home’s value is being used for inheritance, estate taxes, or selling. A certified appraisal protects you legally and ensures everyone involved gets accurate, defensible numbers.

Once we schedule the inspection, most trust appraisals are delivered within 5 to 7 business days. If you’re on a tight deadline due to probate or trustee duties, let us know—we often accommodate rush requests at no extra cost. The actual inspection takes about 30 to 60 minutes, and everything else is handled remotely.

Yes. A proper appraisal for trust or legal purposes usually requires interior access to document the condition, features, and square footage accurately. However, if the property is vacant or you’re out of state, we work with local family members, attorneys, or even property managers to coordinate access on your behalf.
