Settling an estate commonly depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the residential property affected. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the date of your loss. Our staff is familiar with the practices and requirements necessary to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps us to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones. Many times, people do not fully understand the necessity in having a comprehensive appraisal prepared in support of the numbers being used in general documents filed with the IRS and OK state agencies. One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. A report of this caliber will clearly substantiate your claim that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate. Having a professional appraisal from Foundation Appraisal gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and OK state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever refuted. A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. |
