Probate Appraisals

Probate/Estate  Appraisals

 

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful job.  As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as swiftly and exactly as possible.  You can count on us to act quickly and with sensitivity to the feelings of everyone involved.

 

Settling an estate requires an appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the residential property involved.  Often, the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is requested.  We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of death

Date of Death Valuations

 

Estate tax liability.  Disposition of assets under a will or in probate.   Attorneys, accountants, executors and others rely on Advantage Appraisal for "date of death" valuations because such appraisals require special expertise and training.

 

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the revenue authorities should be supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions.  

 

Having a professional appraiser give the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting 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 challenged
