Estate Appraisals

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful job. As an executor of the estate you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased.

Attorneys and Accountants rely on our values when calculating real property values for estates. We provide appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies.

Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to determine market value for the residential 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 market value estimate matching the date of death. Having a professional appraisal gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is challenged.
