Commonly, settling an estate necessitates an detailed appraisal report to establish fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the date an appraisal report is needed will differ the date of death. Our staff is comfortable with the systems and requirements necessary to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our company to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

Most people don't realize that the IRS requires reports filed to express the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the VA agencies that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

HK Bentley, APPRAISERS ensures an detailed appraisal, which will give an executor clear facts and numbers that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to stand by our work if they are ever refuted.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
