Commonly, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to determine market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved.
We sympathize that when you lose a loved one, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind.
Because of this, often there are times that the date of an appraisal deviates from the date of your loss.
We are familiar with the procedures and requirements obligatory to supply a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the date of death.
The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our company to confidentiality, certifying the fullest degree of discretion for all parties involved.
Most people don't realize that the IRS requires reports filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.
One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
This level of documentation will clearly substantiate the evidence that the values expressed are well-founded and accurate.
Having a professional appraisal report from Ralph Martin & Associates, Inc. gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and Florida state agency requirements.
It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the report if it is ever challenged.
