Not sure which one applies?
It is common for a situation to touch more than one of these — an inherited home being divided among siblings involves both an estate effective date and a probate inventory use, for example. A short phone call sorts out which framing the report should use. If it helps to read first, the preparation guide and the FAQ cover the questions that come up most.
Each service page opens with the question people actually ask — for example, “The house was left to us — what was it actually worth on the date that matters?” — and answers it in plain terms.
