Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to determine fair market value for the home involved. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there will be times that the date of an appraisal deviates from the date of your loss. Johnson & Associates assures that our appraisers are familiar with the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to provide 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) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of discretion for you and your family.

Most people don't realize that the IRS needs reports filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. This sort of report will definitely show the evidence that the numbers provided within the report are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be ecstatic by an appraisal by Johnson & Associates which will give him undeniable facts and figures to work with any legal agency's requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged.

One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
