Appraisals for Estate Settlement

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful task. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as promptly and respectfully as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much compassion to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Part of our drive is to produce top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can depend on. Generally, the parties involved will have differing suggestions of how the appraisal process should work; however, our understanding of the estate process will undoubtedly satisfy all parties involved. In our company, we are used to interacting with legal agencies in producing appraisals that transcend their demands.

Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the property therein. We know that when you lose a loved one, ordering an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Of course, it's expected that you need to be there for your loved ones first. That Appraisal Guy assures that we are accustomed to the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our company to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

Most people don't realize that the IRS needs information filed to support the numbers involved in estate sales.

An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

That Appraisal Guy will provide an accurate appraisal report, which will provide an executor solid facts and numbers that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the report if it is ever refuted.
