Dan Craft Appraisals knows 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 deceased as quickly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much empathy to the feelings of everyone left behind.

We've made it our company's goal in providing top-notch appraisals that attorneys and accountants have come to rely on. Often, everyone involved will have their own ideas of how the appraisal process should work; however, our understanding of the estate process definitely satisfy all parties involved. Because of our experience in dealing with the legal system and various agencies, we assemble appraisals that always meet all expectations.

Commonly, settling an estate necessitates an clear appraisal report to suggest fair market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the time an appraisal is ordered will be different from the date of death. Dan Craft Appraisals assures that our appraisers are accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to perform 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 listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our company to confidentiality, ensuring the highest degree of discretion for you and your family.

Most people don't realize that the IRS requires documents filed to express the numbers involved in estate sales.

An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

Dan Craft Appraisals ensures an well-founded report, which will provide an executor clear facts and figures that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because we will be there to back up our work if they are ever challenged.

One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
