Settling an estate usually demands an appraisal to establish fair market value for the estate in question. We know that when you lose a loved one, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, there is a chance that the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is required. Our company is comfortable with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethical requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our company to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of discretion for all parties involved. Often, people do not fully acknowledge the need to have a full appraisal prepared in support of the numbers shown in tax documents filed with revenue authorities. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. This sort of report will definitely substantiate your claim that the numbers displayed within the report are well-founded and accurate. Having a professional appraisal from Port City Appraisals gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and SC state agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because we will be there to support our work if they are ever challenged.
