Settling an estate commonly demands an appraisal to determine fair market value for the house therein. We empathize that in times like this, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, now and then the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is needed. Alexandria Bedford assures that we are comfortable with the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and NY revenue agencies to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes us to confidentiality, assuring the highest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

Most of the time people do not fully comprehend the requirement to have an exhaustive real estate appraisal supplied in support of the numbers displayed in general documents filed with the IRS and NY state agencies.

An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. A report of this caliber will clearly show the evidence that the numbers displayed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be ecstatic by a report by Alexandria Bedford which will give him irrefutable facts and numbers to cooperate with any legal agency's 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.

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the revenue authorities absolutely should be backed by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser came to his conclusions.
