Generally, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to show fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the date an appraisal is requested will differ the date of death. Lotich's Appraisal Service assures that our staff are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and CA revenue agencies to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

Often, people do not fully realize the necessity in having an intricate real estate appraisal prepared in support of the numbers displayed in general documents filed with the IRS and CA state agencies.

One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well-founded and correct.

Having a professional appraisal report from Lotich's Appraisal Service gives the executor definite facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and CA state agency requirements.
