Estate Appraisals

Attorneys and Accountants rely on our values when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. We understand their needs and are used to dealing with all parties involved. We provide appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies.

Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the property involved. Often, the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is requested. 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. 

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the revenue authorities to be supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. 

Having a professional appraisal gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and state agency requirements. We are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is challenged.
