Wills and Probate Solicitors in Kingsbridge

The value assigned to a house for probate purposes must be realistic. An overly optimistic or rushed estimate can prompt tax authorities to seek their own valuation. If the property sells shortly afterwards at a significantly different price, it may raise questions. To provide the most reliable basis, a formal valuation from a qualified surveyor should be obtained as of the date of death. If multiple properties or parcels of land are involved, each may require its own valuation.
