Commonly, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to determine fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We empathize that in times like this, acquiring an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the date an appraisal report is ordered will not match the date of death. Our professional staff is comfortable with the practices and requirements necessary to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethical obligations listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.

Most of the time people do not fully comprehend the demand to have a full appraisal produced in support of the numbers displayed in general documents filed with the IRS and GA state agencies.
