Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the property therein. We sympathize that when you lose a loved one, acquiring an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, it is possible that the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is requested. Preferred Property Appraisers assures that our appraisers are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services 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 ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, assuring the strongest degree of discretion for you and your family.

Many people do not understand that the IRS requires documents filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. A report of this caliber will certainly demonstrate your claim that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional report from Preferred Property Appraisers gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and PA state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever challenged.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
