Settling an estate most often demands an appraisal to show fair market value for the home therein. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal report deviates from the time of death. Cris Currence assures that our staff are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes us to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of discretion for you.

People often forget that the IRS requires documents filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales.

Opinions of value displayed in documents filed with the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. In having a report backed by Cris Currence's professional appraisers, you will have the knowledge that the numbers shown in the appraisal report will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well founded and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal from Cris Currence gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and FL state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
