Commonly, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to ascertain fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, I understand that the date an appraisal is needed will not match the date of death. I assure that I am accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by the Internal Revenue Service to perform a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) holds me to confidentiality, guaranteeing the strongest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

The importance of needing an appraisal when dealing with the IRS to prove income when filing documents is often not considered by most people.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. A report of this caliber will definitely demonstrate the evidence that the numbers within the report are well-founded and accurate.

                                   

One of the most important requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to her conclusion.
