4. APPRAISAL METHOD (Wyo. Stat. § 2-7-404)
Each asset is valued as of the date of the decedent's death. Under Wyo. Stat. § 2-7-404(a):
- (i) For assets with a readily determinable market value, the value as of the date of death is stated in writing by one (1) disinterested person.
- (ii) For assets without a readily determinable market value, the personal representative employs disinterested persons to determine the fair market value of each such asset as of the date of death; a separate written report for each such asset, showing the appraiser's basis, is attached.
Different persons may be employed to appraise different assets (§ 2-7-404(b)). Appraiser fees are within the personal representative's discretion, subject to the reasonableness and approval provisions of § 2-7-802(a) at the final report and accounting.

Estate planning documents decide what happens to your property, your children, and your medical care when you cannot make those decisions yourself. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives each serve different purposes and each have to meet state law requirements for signing, witnessing, and notarization. A document that looks fine on the page but was not executed correctly can be rejected in probate, which is exactly when it is too late to fix.
