Generally, settling an estate necessitates an detailed appraisal report to establish fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We sympathize that when you lose a loved one, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal report is requested will differ the date of death. Geist & Associates assures that our staff are accustomed to the procedures and requirements needed 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. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of privacy for you and your family.

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

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report backed by Geist & Associates's professional appraisers, you will have the knowledge that the numbers provided in the appraisal report will definitely demonstrate to the OR agencies that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

Geist & Associates will provide an accurate report, which will give an executor solid facts and numbers that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because Geist & Associates will be there to stand by our work if they are ever refuted.

One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
