Because of our experience in dealing with attorneys and accountants and different agencies, we create appraisals that definitely meet all expectations. Contact us immediately to discuss your personal estate appraisal demands and how we can put our business acumen to work for you. Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the house involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, it is possible that the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is required. We are accustomed to the procedures and requirements obligatory to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of privacy for all parties involved. Many people do not understand that the IRS requires information filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report supported by Castle Appraisals, you will have the knowledge that the numbers displayed in the appraisal will definitely demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well founded and correct. Castle Appraisals guarantees a well-founded appraisal, which will give an executor clear facts and figures that will exceed IRS and state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the appraisal if it is ever refuted. One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
