![]() Knopf Valuation Services knows the special needs of estate executorsThe job of settling an estate, while stressful is very important. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as promptly and exactly as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much understanding to the feelings of everyone left behind. Attorneys and accountants depend on our ethics when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a worth being placed on real property. We cater to their needs and are acclimated to dealing with all parties involved. We furnish appraisal reports that surpass the needs of the courts and different agencies. Contact us as soon as possible to discuss your specific estate appraisal demands and how we can put our business acumen to work for you. Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the property affected. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there are times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the time of death. Knopf Valuation Services assures that our staff are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested 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) conforms us to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of privacy for you and your family. Most people don't realize that the IRS requires documents filed to support the numbers involved in estate sales. An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report backed by Knopf Valuation Services 's professional appraisers, you will have the understanding that the numbers shown in the appraisal will definitely demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well founded and correct. Knopf Valuation Services will provide an accurate appraisal report, which will give an executor solid facts and figures that will exceed IRS and state agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to support our appraisals if they are ever refuted. One of the most important requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
