Settling an estate generally demands an appraisal to ascertain fair market value for the home affected. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is ordered. Piper Appraisal Company, Inc. assures that our staff are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and WA revenue agencies to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away.

Most people don't realize that the IRS requires documents filed to express the numbers involved in estate sales.

Opinions of value displayed in documents filed with the revenue authorities definitely should be backed by a detailed report as to how the appraiser came to his conclusions. This sort of report will clearly demonstrate your claim that the numbers provided within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional appraisal from Piper Appraisal Company, Inc. gives the executor definite facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and WA state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged.

An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
