Trusts are a relatively popular way to distribute assets to other individuals. Unlike wills, they don’t go through the probate process, which means there’s a little less stress—and a little more privacy—when trying to distribute assets after a loved one’s passing. That said, sometimes it can still be difficult to figure out exactly how the assets should be distributed. That’s where a property appraisal can be useful; it allows a property appraiser to assess the assets contained in the trust and determine their value. From there, the property can be distributed accordingly.
