Divorce & Estate Appraisals

Epic Appraisal provides independent residential appraisals for divorce, separation, estate, probate, and related legal or financial matters throughout Western Washington.

Divorce appraisals

When real estate is part of a divorce or separation, an independent appraisal can help establish a credible opinion of value for settlement discussions, mediation, property division, or related legal needs. Our role is to analyze the property and relevant market data objectively and report a well-supported opinion of value.

Common reasons for a divorce appraisal

• Determining current market value
• Supporting a proposed buyout between spouses
• Establishing value for settlement or mediation
• Valuing a property as of a prior effective date when appropriate
• Providing an independent alternative to automated estimates or informal opinions

Estate & probate appraisals

When an estate includes real property, executors, personal representatives, trustees, beneficiaries, attorneys, and tax professionals may need a valuation as of the current date or a retrospective date such as a date of death.

Clear communication during sensitive situations

Divorce and estate assignments can involve multiple parties, legal counsel, and specific effective dates. We encourage clients to explain the intended use of the appraisal at the beginning so the assignment can be scoped appropriately.
