Settling an estate usually demands an appraisal to show fair market value for the residential property therein. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Of course, it's imperative to be there for your family first. We are familiar with the practices and requirements necessary to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethical requirements stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, assuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family.

Many people do not understand that the IRS requires documents filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. A report of this caliber will clearly substantiate your claim that the numbers provided within the report are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be satisfied by a report by McGuigan and Associates which will provide him irrefutable facts and numbers to cooperate with revenue agencies' requirements. There's no need to be concerned when getting a report from us, because we will back it no matter what.

Opinions of value displayed in documents provided to the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions.
