Do you need an appraisal?

Settling an estate typically requires an appraisal to determine Fair Market Value for the residential property involved. Often, the date of death is weeks or months prior to the date the appraisal is requested. This is know as a Retrospective Appraisal.

We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of death. We will use comparable sales that sold or went into contract near the actual date of death.

With a professional appraisal in hand, the executor is provided with accurate facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and state agency requirements. This facilitates peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal throughout the entire process.
