Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to show fair market value for the property in question. We understand that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there will be times that the date of an appraisal report deviates from the date of your loss. Our company is accustomed to the practices and requirements obligatory to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical obligations listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our staff to confidentiality, guaranteeing the strongest degree of privacy for you and your family. The importance of needing an appraisal when working with government agencies to prove income when filing documents is often misunderstood by most people. One of the most important requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the TX agencies that the numbers used are well-founded and correct. Having a professional appraisal report from High Plains Appraisal gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and TX 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. |
