North Sound Valuation of Seattle appraises residential property in Seattle for homeowners, heirs and attorneys' offices. Each service below has its own page. Choose the one closest to your reason for needing a value. If two of them fit, begin with the date the value has to reflect, because that date decides most of what the assignment involves.
Trust appraisals
Our page about valuing real estate that is held in a trust, or that has to be valued after an owner's death.
Probate appraisals
In Washington, the personal representative states what each estate asset was worth on the date of death (RCW 11.44.015). This page explains when a Seattle home needs a formal appraisal as well, and how King County Superior Court's Ex Parte and Probate Department handles estate matters.
- How the inventory value differs from a formal appraisal
- Court-confirmed sales and Washington estate tax returns
