Tana Despain Appraisal Services knows the special needs of estate executors

Estate settlement is an important and sometimes stressful job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as quickly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much empathy to the feelings of everyone left behind.

Lawyers and accountants depend on our ethics when calculating real estate values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a worth being placed on real property. We understand their needs and are familiar with dealing with all parties involved. Because of our familiarity in dealing with the legal system and other agencies, we furnish reports that definitely outdo all expectations.

Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to show fair market value for the property involved. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the date of your loss. Our professional staff is knowledgeable about the practices and requirements necessary to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, assuring the highest degree of discretion for you.

Often, people do not fully acknowledge the need to have an intricate appraisal report produced in support of the numbers being used in general documents filed with the IRS.

An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

Tana Despain Appraisal Services guarantees an detailed appraisal report, which will give an executor solid facts and numbers that will meet IRS and state agency requirements. You need not stress over anything, because we will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever refuted.
