![]() Fast understands the special needs of estate executorsThe responsibility 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 quickly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much understanding to the feelings of everyone in bereavement. Part of Fast 's company goal is to create top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can rely on. There are required needs for everyone; we realize these necessities and are familiar to working with all parties involved. Among our staff, we are used to dealing with law offices in creating reports that out-strip their necessities. Contact us immediately to discuss your individual estate appraisal needs and how we can put our experience to work for you. Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the house affected. We empathize that when you lose a loved one, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is ordered. Fast assures that our appraisers are accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and revenue agencies to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our company to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for you. People often forget that the IRS requires reports filed to support the numbers involved in estate sales. One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. In having a report backed by Fast 's professional appraisers, you will have the understanding that the numbers displayed in the appraisal report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and correct. An executor will be over-joyed by an appraisal by Fast which will give him undeniable facts and numbers to deal with the IRS and state agencies' requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever refuted. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. |
