Usually, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to show fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal is ordered will differ the date of death. Our company is knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements needed to provide 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 listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of privacy for you and your family.

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

One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. In having a report backed by 1st Stop Appraisal's professional staff, you will have the understanding that the numbers provided in the appraisal report will definitely demonstrate to the CO agencies that the numbers used are well founded and substantiated.

1st Stop Appraisal guarantees an accurate appraisal, which will give an executor clear facts and figures that will meet IRS and state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever challenged.

Opinions of value shown in documents provided to the revenue authorities definitely should be supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions.
