Settling an estate commonly requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the property involved. We understand that when you lose a loved one, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there can be times that the date of an appraisal report differs from the date of your loss. American Appraisals assures that we are familiar with the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and AZ revenue agencies to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical requirements explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

The necessity of ordering a real estate appraisal when working with revenue services to explain income when filing documents is often overlooked by most people.

Opinions of value used in documents provided to the revenue authorities definitely should be backed by a detailed report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the AZ agencies that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

An executor will be over-joyed by a report by American Appraisals which will give him irrefutable facts and numbers to deal with the IRS and AZ state agencies' requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the report if it is ever refuted.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
