Estate tax liability. Disposition of assets under a will or in
probate. There are many situations -- none of them lacking
stress and complexity -- where you might need an appraisal
of property that states an opinion of what the property was
worth on a date some time ago, rather than when the
appraisal is ordered. For estate tax purposes or disposition
of the assets of a decedent, a "date of death" valuation is
often required. (Sometimes, the executor of the estate may
choose to have the date be six months after the date of death
-- but the same principles apply.)

Real property isn't like publicly traded stock or other items
which don't fluctuate in value very much or for which
historical public data is available. You need a professional
real estate appraiser, bound by the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) for a high degree
of confidentiality and professionalism, and you need the
kind of quality report and work product taxing authorities and
courts need and expect.
