How Do I Accurately Estimate the Value of an Estate? | Hackard Law Estate Litigation FAQ
With over fifty years of experience in trust, estate, and probate litigation, Michael Hackard and the attorneys at Hackard Law guide California families through one of the most critical steps in estate administration — determining the accurate value of estate assets. In How Do I Accurately Estimate the Value of an Estate?, Hackard explains the process for heirs, trustees, and executors who must inventory property, calculate fair market values, and ensure compliance with both legal and tax requirements. From Sacramento to Los Angeles and across the San Francisco Bay Area, Hackard Law represents clients navigating complex estate and trust disputes.
Accurately valuing an estate begins with a comprehensive inventory of all assets, including real estate, vehicles, financial accounts, personal property, and business interests. Real estate should be professionally appraised using current local market data, while motor vehicles can be valued through Kelley Blue Book or specialty appraisers for rare models. For valuable personal items such as jewelry, antiques, or art, certified appraisers should provide documentation. Financial accounts and business holdings require current statements and professional valuations to ensure that no asset is overlooked or undervalued.
Hackard underscores the importance of working with an estate attorney or professional fiduciary to preserve transparency, maintain documentation, and protect the estate’s integrity. Determining fair market value as of the date of death is also essential for tax reporting and equitable distribution. Across Santa Clara, San Mateo, Orange County, and Contra Costa, Hackard Law helps clients ensure estates are valued accurately, preventing disputes among beneficiaries and heirs.
