Estate Settlement Appraisals in CA by Peterson Appraisal Group

The task of settling an estate, while stressful is very important. 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 compassion to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Attorneys and accountants depend on our ideals when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a cost being placed on real property. Often, everyone involved will have their own expectations of how the appraisal process should work; however, our understanding of the estate process will undoubtedly satisfy all parties involved. Due to our familiarity in dealing with the courts and other agencies, we offer appraisal reports that always exceed all expectations.

Usually, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to ascertain fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We understand that in this time of loss, ordering an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is required. Our company is familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform 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) keeps our company to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of privacy for you and your family.

All too often, people do not fully realize the importance in having a complete real estate appraisal prepared in support of the numbers being used in tax documents filed with the IRS and CA state agencies.

One of the most important requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. A report of this caliber will certainly show your claim that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional appraisal report from Peterson Appraisal Group gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and CA state agency requirements. There's no need to worry when getting a report from us, because we will stand by it no matter what.
