![]() Appraisals for Estate Settlement by Robert HeembrockSettling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as promptly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much sensitivity to the feelings of everyone in bereavement. Lawyers and accountants depend on our ideals when calculating real estate values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a cost being placed on real property. There are specific needs for everyone; we realize these requirements and are familiar to working with all parties involved. Because of our experience in working with the legal system and other agencies, we construct appraisals that always outdo all expectations. Contact us promptly to discuss your specialized estate appraisal needs and how we can put our business acumen to work for you. Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to establish fair market value for the home in question. We sympathize that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the date of death differs from the time the appraisal is needed. Robert Heembrock assures that our appraisers are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and MO revenue agencies to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, guaranteeing the highest degree of discretion for all parties involved. Many people do not understand that the IRS needs reports filed to express the numbers involved in estate sales. A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well-founded and correct. Having a professional appraisal report from Robert Heembrock gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and MO state agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because Robert Heembrock will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever refuted. One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
