valuation date

Read a random definition: Social Security

A quick definition of valuation date:

A valuation date is a specific date used to determine the value of a person's property after they have passed away. In tax law, there is an alternate valuation date that is six months after the person's death. The estate can choose to appraise the property either on the date of death or on the alternate valuation date. This is important for determining the basis of the property for tax purposes.

A more thorough explanation:

Valuation date refers to the date on which the value of an asset or property is determined. In tax law, there is a specific alternate valuation date that is used in certain circumstances.

The alternate valuation date is a date that is six months after a person's death. In the case of a deceased person's estate, the estate can choose to appraise the property either as of the date of the person's death or as of the alternate valuation date.

For example, if a person dies on January 1st, their estate can choose to value their property as of January 1st or as of July 1st (six months later). If the value of the property has decreased during that time, it may be advantageous for the estate to choose the alternate valuation date.

The valuation date is important because it determines the basis of the property, which is used to calculate taxes. If the property is valued higher, the taxes will be higher as well.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
