Appraisals for Estate Settlement by California Certified Appraisers

Estate settlement is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as quickly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much understanding to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Part of California Certified Appraisers's mission statement is to create top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can rely on. There are specific needs for everyone; we are sympathetic to these needs and are comfortable to working with all parties involved. We furnish appraisal reports that surpass the requirements of the courts and assorted groups.

Commonly, settling an estate necessitates an detailed appraisal report to determine fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the date an appraisal is needed will not match the date of death. Our company is knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements necessary to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our staff to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of discretion for you and your family.

Many times, people do not fully comprehend the requirement to have a complete appraisal prepared in support of the numbers displayed in tax documents filed with the IRS and CA state agencies.

One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal report from California Certified Appraisers gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and CA state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the appraisal if it is ever challenged.
