Usually, settling an estate requires an irrefutable appraisal report to ascertain fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We empathize that in this time of loss, ordering an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the time an appraisal is requested will not match the date of death. Smith & Associates Appraisals assures that our appraisers 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 you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.

Often, people do not fully fathom the demand to have a complete real estate appraisal prepared in support of the numbers being used in general documents filed with the IRS and SC state agencies.

One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This sort of report will clearly show your claim that the numbers provided within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Smith & Associates Appraisals guarantees an detailed appraisal, which will provide an executor definite facts and numbers that will exceed IRS and revenue agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because Smith & Associates Appraisals will be there to back up our work if they are ever refuted.
