Hiring checklist
Name the estate intended use and as-of date, match specialties and inspection method, compare public FAIR profile signals, then confirm written non-contingent fees and a sample report before work starts.
- Date-of-death fair market value, insurance scheduling, and a sale estimate are different assignments.
- Mixed estates often need more than one specialty; closest office is only one signal.
- Do not treat listed or verified status as certification of competence or court qualification.
