Generally, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to determine market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We understand that in this time of loss, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the time an appraisal report is requested will be different from the date of death. We are knowledgeable about the practices and requirements obligatory to produce a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our company to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

Most of the time, people do not fully realize the demand to have a full appraisal report produced in support of the figures used in tax documents filed with the IRS and Texas state agencies.

Opinions of value used in documents filed with revenue authorities definitely should be supported by a comprehensive report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. This level of documentation will clearly substantiate the evidence that the values presented are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional appraisal from Ben Hill Appraisal gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and Texas state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the report if it is ever challenged.
