Settling an estate most often demands an appraisal to ascertain fair market value for the property in question. We understand that when you lose a loved one, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal report differs from the date of your loss. We are familiar with the systems and requirements necessary to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

Many people do not understand that the IRS requires documents filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most important requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This sort of report will certainly show your claim that the numbers displayed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional appraisal report from Culpepper & Associates gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and NC state agency requirements. There's no need to be concerned when getting an appraisal from us, because we will back it no matter what.
