Usually, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to acquire fair market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We sympathize that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the date an appraisal is requested will differ the date of death. Jim Malady assures that our staff are familiar with the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and IN revenue agencies to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, ensuring the highest degree of discretion for you.
