An estate with a house.
A clearer next step.

The attorney’s instructions come first.

Tell us the property address, the required valuation date and the purpose of the report. A probate appraisal supplies a property-value opinion; your attorney directs the estate administration and confirms which documents are needed.

Have these details nearby, if you have them.

• The address, block and lot, or an assessment notice.
• Instructions from the attorney and any letters appointing the estate representative.
• Information about the home’s condition on the required date.
• Plans or records of major additions, alterations or repairs.
• A contact for property access and any deadline.

When the value needs to look back.

The home you can visit today may have changed since the date being valued. Share earlier photographs, records and what the family knows. The appraiser considers evidence relevant to the agreed date, along with the property’s characteristics.

The Camden County Surrogate’s role.

The Surrogate handles wills and estate administration records. It does not replace the property-specific appraisal or your attorney’s instructions. Our local records guide identifies the township and county offices; confirm visit arrangements with the office before going.

Call even if some documents are still missing. We can discuss scope, availability and a written quote before scheduling.
