Appraisals for Estate Settlement by Renee Henry

Settling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as quickly and respectfully as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much empathy to the feelings of everyone left behind.

Part of Renee Henry's mission statement is to produce top-notch, ethical appraisals that attorneys can depend on. There are required needs for everyone; we realize these needs and are familiar to working with all parties involved. We write appraisal reports that meet the needs of the legal system and various agencies.

Commonly, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to acquire fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We sympathize that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, it is possible that the time of death differs from the date the appraisal is needed. We are accustomed to the procedures and requirements necessary to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of discretion for you.

The requirement of having a real estate appraisal when dealing with the IRS to prove income when filing documents is often not considered by most people.

One of the most important requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the CA agencies that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

Renee Henry ensures an detailed report, which will provide an executor definite facts and numbers that will exceed IRS and revenue 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.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
