The responsibility of settling an estate, while stressful is very important. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as swiftly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much understanding to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Attorneys and accountants rely on our ideals when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. There are required needs for everyone; we comprehend these requirements and are acclimated to dealing with all parties involved. Among our staff, we are accustomed to dealing with legal agencies in assembling appraisal reports that out-strip their demands.

Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the home affected. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the time an appraisal report is requested will not match the date of death. Our staff is comfortable 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. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our appraisers to confidentiality, assuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.
