What Was the Property Worth Then?
Date-of-Death Appraisals for Texas Hill Country Real Estate

When real estate is inherited, its fair market value on the date of the owner's death may be important for establishing tax basis and addressing estate matters.

A Date-of-Death appraisal determines the property's market value as of that historical date—not what it's worth today.

Sifford Appraisal LLC specializes in homes, acreage, ranches, and complex properties throughout the Texas Hill Country.

Why Hill Country Experience Matters

Historical appraisals can be especially complex when a property includes acreage, multiple improvements, wells, barns, water features, or other rural characteristics.

Local market knowledge matters—especially when the value date is in the past.

How It Works

1. Tell us about the property.
Provide the property location and date of death.

2. We research the historical market.
We analyze relevant sales and market conditions around that date.

3. We analyze the property as it existed then.
The appraisal reflects the property and improvements applicable to the historical value date.

4. You receive the appraisal report.
We provide an opinion of market value as of the Date of Death.
