In our company, we are used to dealing with law offices in assembling appraisal reports that transcend their necessities. Contact us immediately to discuss your specific estate appraisal demands and how we can put our experience to work for you. Settling an estate most often demands an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the property affected. We understand that in times like this, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal deviates from the date of your loss. We are knowledgeable about the practices and requirements needed to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us to confidentiality, assuring the fullest degree of privacy for you and your family. People often forget that the IRS requires documents filed to express the numbers involved in estate sales. An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and correct. Having a professional appraisal from LK Appraisals gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and TX 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 essential requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
