Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the estate therein. We sympathize that in this time of loss, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the date an appraisal report is requested will differ the date of death. Our company is accustomed to the systems and requirements needed to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our company to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

Many people do not understand that the IRS requires documents filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. A report of this caliber will definitely demonstrate the evidence that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be ecstatic by a report by Holdefer Appraisal Services which will provide him solid facts and numbers to work with the IRS and AL state agencies' requirements. You need not stress over anything, because Holdefer Appraisal Services will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever refuted.
