Lawyers and accountants depend on our understanding when calculating real estate values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a cost being placed on real property. Generally, all parties will have different suggestions of how the appraisal process should work; however, our experience of the estate process definitely satisfy all parties involved. Among our staff, we are accustomed to dealing with law offices in composing appraisals that transcend their requirements. Contact us today to discuss your explicit estate appraisal specifications and how we can put our knowledge to work for you. Settling an estate most often demands an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the estate in question. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is required. We are comfortable with the systems and requirements necessary to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of discretion for you and your family. Many people do not understand that the IRS needs information filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales. A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report supported by Fiehler & Associates's professional staff, you will have the knowledge that the numbers provided in the appraisal will definitely demonstrate to the OH agencies that the numbers used are accurate and correct. Having a professional report from Fiehler & Associates gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and OH state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever challenged. One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
