A retrospective appraisal concludes value as of a past effective date, using market evidence available as of that date rather than current conditions. It serves multiple purposes — estate, tax, litigation, and historical questions — wherever a value as of a specific past date is required.
What the service involves
The assignment is an appraisal with a past effective date, developed using market evidence and conditions as of that date. The past date and the intended use are confirmed up front. The deliverable is a written appraisal report documenting the retrospective scope, the effective date, the market evidence, and the value conclusion.
When clients need this service
Executors, attorneys, tax advisors, and owners use retrospective appraisals when a value as of a specific past date is needed — for estate administration (date of death), litigation, tax matters, or historical questions. For example, an attorney needing a value as of a prior date for a dispute may require a retrospective appraisal with that effective date.
What the analysis considers
The analysis considers the property's characteristics and condition as of the past effective date, market conditions and comparable evidence as of that date, the applicable value definition, and the intended use. The valuation approaches applied depend on the property type and the historical data available. The conclusion is a supported opinion of value as of that past date, not a current value.
Documents and information that may help
Not every item below is mandatory for every assignment. The records that matter depend on the property and the agreed scope; we will confirm what is needed during the initial discussion.
- Property address and description
- The past effective date
- Property condition and tenancy as of that date, if known
- The intended use and intended users
- Any relevant legal or estate documents
How the engagement works
We begin by confirming the past effective date and the intended use. After agreeing on scope, we research market conditions and comparable evidence as of that date, analyze the data, and deliver a written appraisal report. Scope, fees, and timing depend on the property and the availability of historical market data.
