Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential property in question. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind.

Our company is comfortable with the practices and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one.

People often forget that the IRS requires information filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. This sort of report will definitely substantiate the evidence that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate. Having a professional appraisal report from Carlson Appraisal Service gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and MD state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the report if it is ever refuted. One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
