Appraisal Associates understands the special needs of estate executors

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful task. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as swiftly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much sympathy to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Part of Appraisal Associates's drive is to produce top-notch, ethical appraisals that attorneys can rely on. There are specific needs for everyone; we comprehend these requirements and are comfortable to dealing with all parties involved. In our company, we are accustomed to dealing with the courts in assembling appraisals that transcend their requirements.

Settling an estate most often requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential property therein. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, now and then the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is requested. We are familiar with the systems and requirements needed to produce 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 requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our company to confidentiality, providing the highest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

Often, people do not fully acknowledge the requirement to have an exhaustive appraisal produced in support of the numbers being used in general documents filed with revenue authorities.
