An appraisal is usually necessary to determine a Fair Market Value for the residential property when settling an estate. The date of death is frequently different from the date of the requested appraisal. The requirements and procedures needed to carry out an effective and retroactive appraisal are well known to us, an appraisal with a Fair Market Value estimate which matches up to the date of death. We are bound to confidentiality by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices (USPAP) ethics provision, meaning discretion is ensured to its fullest extent.

There are too many cases of people not completely understanding the reason behind having a comprehensive real estate appraisal primed to support the figures in papers which will be filed with revenue authorities.

There are opinions of worth used in papers filed with the revenue authorities which need to be backed up by a thorough description outlining how the appraiser came to his conclusions. These reports show the authorities that the figures outlined are substantiated and well founded.

State agency and IRS requirements must be met through specific factual details and a licensed appraisal will ensure that these requirements are met. In the event of the appraisal being disputed we are there to back up that appraisal, a sure way for all those involved to enjoy peace of mind.
