Settling an estate most often requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the residential property therein. We sympathize that in times like this, acquiring an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, now and then the time of death differs from the date the appraisal is ordered. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements obligatory to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one.
