![]() Horewitz Valuation Services understands the special needs of estate executorsSettling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. 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 sympathy to the feelings of everyone in bereavement. Part of Horewitz Valuation Services's mission statement is to offer top-notch, ethical appraisals that attorneys can rely on. Generally, all parties will have differing expectations of how the appraisal process should work; however, our experience of the estate process will undoubtedly satisfy all parties involved. We furnish appraisal reports that out-strip the requirements of the legal system and other agencies. Contact us as soon as possible to discuss your specific estate appraisal specifications and how we can put our experience to work for you. Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the home involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Of course, you need to comfort your loved ones first. Horewitz Valuation Services assures that our appraisers are accustomed to 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 your loved one passed away. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family. The requirement of needing an appraisal when dealing with revenue services to explain income when filing documents is often not considered by most people. One of the most necessary requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated. Having a professional report from Horewitz Valuation Services gives the executor definite facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and CA state agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because Horewitz Valuation Services will be there to support our work if they are ever challenged. An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. |
