Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the property affected. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the time an appraisal report is requested will not match the date of death. Our staff is knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements necessary to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethical obligations listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our appraisers to confidentiality, assuring the fullest degree of privacy for you and your family.

All too often, people do not fully fathom the importance in having a detailed real estate appraisal supplied in support of the numbers shown in general documents filed with the IRS and CA state agencies.

An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. A report of this caliber will clearly demonstrate your claim that the numbers displayed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional appraisal report from Peterson Appraisal Group gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and CA state agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because we will be there to support our appraisals if they are ever refuted.

One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
