Comprehensive Estate Planning in Salt Lake City, UT
Also Proudly Serving Salt Lake County, Weber County, Davis County, and Tooele County
When real estate is part of estate planning in Salt Lake City, UT, knowing what a property is actually worth can make a real difference in the decisions ahead. MBM & Associates has been providing residential real estate appraisals for more than 20 years, working with each client directly from the first phone call through the finished report.
Why Appraisals Matter for Estate Planning
Property values play an important role in estate planning; establishing the value of assets, which in turn informs decisions about tax basis, asset distribution among heirs, overall net worth, and other planning considerations. A professional appraisal gives you a well-supported opinion of value grounded in the property itself, comparable sales, current market conditions, and the right effective date for the assignment.
For estate planning purposes, we complete both current and retrospective valuations, depending on what you need. We regularly work alongside attorneys, accountants, and families who need documentation they can actually stand behind. Every report comes from real research, not a computer-generated estimate. We lay out exactly how we arrived at the value, so anyone relying on the report understands both the property and the market behind the number.
One Appraiser, Start to Finish
Working with the same person throughout makes an unfamiliar process much less stressful. When you call MBM & Associates, you're working with Mark; he handles the consultation, measurements, photos, market research, and analysis himself, with nothing handed off between departments. Mark's background in real estate investment and property management also comes in handy when an estate includes rental or income-producing property. We appraise single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, residential investment properties, and single-lot vacant land.
We serve Salt Lake City and the surrounding area, including Bluffdale, Draper, Holladay, Kearns, Magna, Midvale, Murray, Riverton, Sandy, South Jordan, South Salt Lake, Taylorsville, West Jordan, West Valley City, White City, Copperton, Herriman, Cottonwood Heights, and Millcreek.
Built for the Decisions That Matter
An estate appraisal should give you more than a number; it should also give you a clear, defensible picture of value backed by real market evidence and built around what the assignment actually calls for. We take the time to understand the situation before deciding what kind of appraisal or consultation fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an estate appraisal use a past valuation date?
Yes. That's called a retrospective appraisal, and it gives you a value as of a specific earlier date rather than today's market.
Do I need to be planning to sell the property?
Not at all. Plenty of appraisals happen when a property stays in the family or ownership changes hands without a sale.
What should I have ready?
Anything related to ownership, renovations, or the purpose of the appraisal helps, but don't worry about digging up paperwork ahead of time. We'll walk you through what's actually needed.
