Commonly, settling an estate necessitates an extensive appraisal report to determine fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the time an appraisal is ordered will be different from the date of death. Independent Appraisal assures that our appraisers are accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away.
