Appalachian Appraisal, Inc. understands the special needs of estate executors

Settling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as promptly 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 left behind.

We've made it our company's goal in producing the best appraisals that lawyers and accountants have come to rely on. There are required needs for everyone; we are sympathetic to these needs and are familiar to working with all parties involved. We assemble appraisal reports that out-strip the obligations of the legal system and assorted groups.

Settling an estate most often requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the property affected. We understand that in times like this, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the date of death differs from the time the appraisal is ordered. Our staff is accustomed to the practices and requirements necessary to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us to confidentiality, assuring the strongest degree of privacy for you.

This sort of report will definitely demonstrate the evidence that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate.
