Settling an estate usually demands an appraisal to ascertain fair market value for the residential property involved. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal report differs from the time of death. Our company is comfortable with the systems and requirements needed to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our appraisers to confidentiality, guaranteeing the strongest degree of discretion for you.
