Commonly, settling an estate necessitates a detailed appraisal report to determine market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there will be times that the effective date of an appraisal deviates from the date of your loss. Holmes Appraisals assures that our staff is familiar with the procedures and requirements needed by the federal and Florida revenue agencies to produce a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our company to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of privacy for you and your family.

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

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report supported by Holmes Appraisals's expert staff, you will have the peace of mind that the numbers shown in the appraisal will certainly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal from Holmes Appraisals gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and Florida state agency requirements. You need not stress over anything, because Holmes Appraisals will be there to back up our work if they are ever refuted.
