Generally, settling an estate necessitates an extensive appraisal report to suggest fair market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the time of death. Our staff is knowledgeable about the systems and requirements necessary 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 ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, guaranteeing the strongest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.
