We know that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the time an appraisal is requested will deviate the date of death. We are knowledgeable about the practices and requirements needed to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our staff to confidentiality, guaranteeing the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family. Many people do not understand that the IRS needs documents filed to support the numbers involved in estate sales. One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well-founded and correct. Kilpatrick & Sconyers Agency will provide an well-founded report, which will give an executor definite facts and numbers that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. There's no need to have anything but peace of mind when getting an appraisal from us, because we will stand by it no matter what. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. |
