How To Figure Out What Your Estate Is Worth

How can I figure out what my estate is worth?

What you would have to do in order to value your estate, firstly, is to list all of your assets. Don't forget any assets; the obvious ones are real estate, cash accounts, and any retirement accounts you have. There may be other assets that you won't even expect have any place in this valuation process, like that little partnership interest, or your furniture, furnishings and personal effects. All of that is includible. Each project of valuation, if you want to do it right, can require the retention of a professional appraiser.
