It has to be based on reality. They can't decide that a house is worth $1. They have to be able to demonstrate some reasonable estimation based on similarly valued items. In many cases an appraiser needs to be hired to estimate values of real estate, art objects and collectables. For run of the mill personal property, there are a number of software tools that could be used to provide estimates. Stocks and bonds have to be valued per the market on the date selected by the executor.
