[WSBAPT] LOPA: Value of Community Property

[Inge Fordham]

Estate property was acquired by Dad and Mom, husband and wife decades ago (pre-1970).  Dad passed in 1980 without a will.  Community property passed to surviving spouse (Mom), though there was no probate (or otherwise clearing of title).  We are now probating Mom’s estate and selling the estate property .  My client (the PR of Mom’s estate) is being asked to execute a LOPA.  No problem.  The LOPA asks for the estimated value of the community property as of Dad’s DOD.  How in the heck do I determine the property value as of 1980?  The Pierce Co. Assessor’s records don’t go back that far.
