Appraisals for Estate Settlement by Sullivan Appraisals

The task of settling an estate, often a source of stress is very important. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as quickly and respectfully as possible. You can count on me to act quickly and with as much compassion to the feelings of everyone left behind.

Attorneys and accountants depend on my ethics when calculating real estate values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. There are specific needs for everyone; I cater to these needs and are comfortable to dealing with all parties involved. I am accustomed to interacting with legal agencies in composing appraisal reports that meet their demands.

Settling an estate commonly requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the house involved. I understand that in this time of loss, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the date of an appraisal report deviates from the date of your loss. Sullivan Appraisals assures that we are comfortable with the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and CA revenue agencies to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps all appraisals to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

The importance of having a real estate appraisal when working with the IRS to show income when filing documents is often overlooked by most people.
