Usually, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to show fair market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We know that in times like this, even thinking about an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, sometimes the time of death differs from the date the appraisal is required. Our staff is familiar with the systems and requirements necessary to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, certifying the fullest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones. The necessity of needing an appraisal report when cooperating with revenue services to show income when filing documents is often misunderstood by most people. One of the most important requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the GA agencies that the numbers used are accurate and correct. Gary Johnson guarantees an well-founded appraisal, which will give an executor definite facts and numbers that will meet 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 ever challenged. Opinions of value used in documents filed with the revenue authorities definitely should be supported by a comprehensive report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. |
