Generally, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to establish fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal report differs from the time of death. E Ross Long Associates assures that we are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our company to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones. Most people don't realize that the IRS requires documents filed to express the numbers involved in estate sales. A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the MD agencies that the numbers used are well-founded and correct. E Ross Long Associates guarantees an well-founded appraisal, which will provide an executor solid facts and figures that will exceed IRS and revenue agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged. One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
