Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to establish fair market value for the house in question. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there can be times that the effective date of an appraisal deviates from the time of death. Witherell & Associates, Inc. assures that our appraisers are familiar with the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and WA revenue agencies to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our staff to confidentiality, providing the highest degree of privacy for you. One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
