Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to acquire market value for the house involved. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the time an appraisal report is needed will differ the date of death. Donaldson Appraisal Group, LLC assures that our appraisers are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to supply a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps us to confidentiality, providing the highest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

Often, people do not fully fathom the demand to have a true appraisal report produced in support of the figures used in tax documents filed with the IRS.

One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This level of documentation will definitely substantiate your claim that the values within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Donaldson Appraisal Group, LLC ensures a well-founded appraisal, which will provide an executor clear facts and numbers that will exceed IRS and state agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to back up our work if they are ever challenged.
