Sicard Appraisal knows the special needs of estate executorsSettling 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 respect to the feelings of everyone involved. Part of Sicard Appraisal's mission statement is to create top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can rely on. There are required needs for everyone; we realize these requirements and are comfortable to dealing with all parties involved. In our company, we are accustomed to working with legal agencies in composing reports that out-strip their requirements. Contact us promptly to discuss your explicit estate appraisal requirements and how we can put our business acumen to work for you. Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential property therein. We empathize that in times like this, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there are times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the time of death. Sicard Appraisal assures that our appraisers are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and LA revenue agencies to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, providing the highest degree of discretion for you. Often, people do not fully understand the importance in having a comprehensive appraisal report prepared in support of the numbers shown in general documents filed with the IRS and LA state agencies. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report backed by Sicard Appraisal's expert staff, you will have the understanding that the numbers provided in the report will certainly demonstrate to the LA agencies that the numbers used are well founded and substantiated. Having a professional appraisal from Sicard Appraisal gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and LA state agency requirements. There's no need to be stressed out when getting an appraisal from Sicard Appraisal, because we will support it no matter what. One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
