Usually, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to suggest fair market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal report is ordered will not match the date of death. Rivera Appraisals assures that our staff are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to perform 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) attunes our company to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of privacy for you and your family.
