Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to show fair market value for the house affected. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, it is possible that the date of death differs from the time the appraisal is requested. Accurate Appraisals assures that our staff are comfortable with the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of privacy for you.

People often forget that the IRS requires reports filed to support the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most necessary requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the TN agencies that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal from Accurate Appraisals gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and TN state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever challenged.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
