A Reliable Appraiser You Can Refer to With Confidence

Just Appraisals Inc. works regularly with estate attorneys, divorce attorneys, CPAs, and estate planners throughout Orange County. When you refer a client, you know whose name is on the report and whose reputation is behind it.

Estate & Trust Appraisals

Date of death valuations, inherited property appraisals, step-up in basis, trust administration valuations, and cost segregation analysis. Reports are accurate, properly documented, and prepared to court standards.

Divorce & Legal Separation Appraisals

Independent valuations for marital property in divorce proceedings and legal separations. Because we're not hired by either party, the report stands on its own.

Date Of Death Appraisal

A retroactive valuation establishing the fair market value of a property as of a specific date of passing. Required for estate tax filings, trust distributions, and court proceedings.

Inherited Property Appraisals

A current market value appraisal for property received through an estate or trust. Used for sale decisions, heir distributions, and tax basis purposes.

Step-Up Appraisal

A certified appraisal establishing fair market value at the date of the original owner's death — required for step-up in basis calculations and capital gains tax filings.

Commercial Appraisals

For matters involving income-producing or commercial property — partnership disputes, estate holdings, business separations. Scope-dependent; call to discuss.

What You Can Count On

One Point Of Contact

When you call, you reach Mat. When the report goes out, it carries Mat's signature — his experience, his standards, his word. That's what you're referring when you send a client our way.

Independence

Mat has no relationship with either party and no stake in the outcome. The valuation is what it is — supported by 24 years of Orange County market knowledge and a certified appraiser's license (BREA #AR029995)

Turnaround

Most inspections are scheduled within 72 hours. Reports are delivered within 72 hours of the site visit. When a filing deadline is driving the timeline, rush service is available.

Defensibility

Reports are prepared to professional standards and documented for use in mediation, negotiation, or court. Mat has been doing this work in Orange County long enough to know what the courts expect.

How Referrals Work

Simple. You give your client Mat's number or send them to this site. They fill out the request form, Mat follows up directly, and the appraisal gets scheduled. You'll hear from your client when it's done — typically within a week under standard turnaround.

If you prefer to make the introduction directly or have questions about a specific matter before referring, call Mat.

I will definitely be using Mat in the future."
