Appraisal Services knows the special needs of estate executors

Settling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. 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 sensitivity to the feelings of everyone involved.

Part of Appraisal Services's company goal is to produce top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can rely on. We understand their needs and are familiar with working with all parties involved. Among our staff, we are accustomed to working with law offices in assembling appraisal reports that out-strip their needs.

Usually, settling an estate necessitates an irrefutable appraisal report to suggest fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We know that when you lose a loved one, even thinking about an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the time an appraisal report is requested will differ the date of death. Appraisal Services assures that our staff are familiar with the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our appraisers to confidentiality, assuring the highest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

All too often, people do not fully realize the need to have an exhaustive appraisal supplied in support of the numbers displayed in general documents filed with revenue authorities.

Opinions of value displayed in documents provided to the revenue authorities definitely should be backed by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser came to his conclusions. A report of this caliber will certainly demonstrate the evidence that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional report from Appraisal Services gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and CA state agency requirements. You need not stress over anything, because we will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever refuted.

One of the most important requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
