Settling an estate commonly depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the property in question. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the time an appraisal report is requested will be different from the date of death. Our staff is familiar with the practices and requirements needed to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes us to confidentiality, guaranteeing the highest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

People often forget that the IRS needs information filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. In having a report supported by Target Appraisal Services's expert appraisers, you will have the knowledge that the numbers provided in the appraisal will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

Having a professional appraisal from Target Appraisal Services gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and NH state agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because Target Appraisal Services will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever challenged.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
