Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the home in question. We empathize that when you lose a loved one, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Of course, it's expected that you need to be there for your family first. Our professional staff is familiar with the procedures and requirements obligatory to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, certifying the fullest degree of privacy for you and your family.
