What Does an Estate Appraiser Do? A Guide for Executors in Ontario

Settling an estate can feel overwhelming, especially for executors who are navigating the probate process for the first time. One of the most important — yet often misunderstood — steps is obtaining an accurate valuation of the estate’s personal property.

An estate appraiser determines the fair market value of household contents, vehicles, heavy equipment, and other personal assets. These valuations are used for probate, estate division, insurance, taxation, and settlement.

A certified appraisal report brings transparency, protects beneficiaries, and reduces the risk of disputes. At ONit. Canada, we assist executors with detailed, court-ready appraisal reports so they can fulfill their legal responsibilities with confidence and accuracy.
