Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential property involved. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the time of death differs from the date the appraisal is ordered. Our professional staff is familiar with the systems and requirements needed to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our appraisers to confidentiality, certifying the fullest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

Most people don't realize that the IRS requires reports filed to support the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most important requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This sort of report will certainly show the evidence that the numbers displayed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional report from Residential Appraisals gives the executor definite facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and DE state 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.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
