Estate Appraisal Services for Executors and Families
Settling an estate can be both an emotional and complex process. As a family member or executor, you have the important responsibility of ensuring your loved oneβs wishes are carried out efficiently and accurately.
At Real Value Appraisal, we specialize in real estate appraisals for estate settlements, helping executors, attorneys, and accountants determine the Fair Market Value (FMV) of residential properties. With decades of experience handling thousands of estate situations, we provide accurate, timely, and professional appraisals while being sensitive to the needs of all parties involved.
Why a Professional Estate Appraisal is Essential
When settling an estate, a real estate appraisal is typically required to establish the Fair Market Value of the property. This valuation is crucial for:
β
Estate Tax Filings β Ensuring compliance with IRS and state tax authorities.
β
Property Distribution β Helping heirs and beneficiaries make informed decisions.
β
Legal & Financial Clarity β Providing accurate figures for attorneys and accountants.
β
Avoiding Disputes β A professional appraisal reduces the likelihood of disagreements among family members.
Date of Death Appraisals & IRS Compliance
In many cases, the appraisal date must reflect the date of death, not the date the appraisal is ordered. Our team specializes in retroactive appraisals, ensuring an accurate Fair Market Value as of the required date.
We adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), meaning all reports are confidential, well-documented, and fully defensible in the event of an IRS review or legal challenge.
