FAQ
Required by the Internal Revenue Service and many states. If the total estate is over a certain value threshold (currently at $5 million), then everything needs to be appraised and valued as of the date of death (or alternate date).
Funeral home records vary in format and content, but they can all be valuable for determining someone's death date. Check genealogical and historical societies; state, county, and local libraries; and municipal archives for possible holdings.
Since payable-on-death accounts (PODs) and transfer-on-death accounts (TODs) must designate a beneficiary, they are not subject to the California probate process. The payable-on-death beneficiary can claim the bank account proceeds by going to the bank with a copy of the death certificate and proof of identification.
A date of death valuation is a snapshot of how much a person's home or property was worth on the day they died. This value is important for legal procedures like settling the estate, figuring out taxes, and making sure everything is divided fairly among heirs and/or beneficiaries.
Bank account date of death values can be obtained by speaking to a bank official as a rule. Do not rely on a statement as that will reflect the balance at the end of the month, not the date of death. If the account is an interest bearing account this will not be an accurate value.
For publicly traded securities, the date-of-death value is typically the mean of the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the date of death.
