E use DefaultDateTimeValue como um atributo para suas propriedades. Os valores a serem inseridos em seu atributo de validação são coisas como "Agora", que serão renderizados em tempo de execução a partir de uma instância DateTime criada com um ativador. O código-fonte é inspirado neste tópico: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/A-flexible-Default-Value-11c2db19 . Eu mudei para fazer minha classe herdar com DefaultValueAttribute em vez de um ValidationAttribute.
