    Trust Eagle Home Appraisal for Accurate Property Valuations

    Six requests, six Michigan rules

    Every request starts with the same three details: the property address, why you need a value, and the date that value has to reflect. What differs is the Michigan statute, court or office the report will be read against. Pick the request closest to yours.

    Estate appraisals

    An inherited home is usually valued as of the owner's date of death. Michigan collects no inheritance tax for deaths after September 30, 1993, yet that value is still, as a general rule, the heirs' federal basis, and the transfer brings property-tax steps of its own.

    Estate appraisals

    Probate appraisals

    Within 91 days after appointment, a personal representative lists the estate's property at its date-of-death fair market value (MCL 700.3706). The code lets the personal representative hire an appraiser where a value is open to doubt, and names that appraiser on the inventory (MCL 700.3707).

    Probate appraisals

    Divorce appraisals

    A Michigan court divides marital property as it finds "just and reasonable" (MCL 552.19), and Michigan is not a community-property state. An opinion of value for the specific house gives both sides something concrete to discuss with their attorneys.

    Divorce appraisals

    IRS step-up appraisals

    For an heir, the federal tax basis of an inherited house generally resets to the house's fair market value on the owner's date of death. A retrospective report documents that value for the effective date your tax adviser identifies.

    Residential appraisals

    Valued for a listing, a refinance, a Board of Review protest or another decision: single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, two- to four-unit buildings, manufactured homes on permanent foundations, waterfront homes and vacant residential lots.

    Rush appraisals

    The 91-day probate inventory, a July 31 Tax Tribunal petition and a date in a divorce case can all compress a schedule. Ask whether earlier delivery is workable before you count on it.
