Explanation
A retrospective appraisal uses an effective date in the past while being prepared today. Uses include: estate tax valuation (IRS requires value at date of death), litigation (property value at time of divorce, easement taking, or damage), and tax appeals (market value during the assessment period). In Nevada, retrospective appraisals are commonly needed for probate, disputed real estate transactions, and property tax challenges. The appraiser uses historical market data to reconstruct past value.
