Commonly, settling an estate requires an irrefutable appraisal report to determine fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the date of an appraisal differs from the time of death. Our staff is comfortable with the practices and requirements needed to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

A report of this caliber will definitely substantiate your claim that the numbers displayed within the report are well-founded and accurate.
