Estate Settlement Appraisals in TX by Stanfield & Assoc

Estate settlement is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as quickly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much compassion to the feelings of everyone involved.

We've made it our company's goal in producing excellent appraisals that attorneys and accountants have come to depend on. There are specific needs for everyone; we realize these requirements and are comfortable to working with all parties involved. We furnish appraisal reports that out-strip the requirements of the courts and various groups.

Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to show fair market value for the property involved. It's understandable that thinking about getting 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. Our staff is knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements necessary to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our staff to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of discretion for you and your family.

People often forget that the IRS requires reports filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

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

Stanfield & Assoc guarantees an substantiated report, which will give an executor clear facts and figures that will meet IRS and state agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to stand by our reports if they are ever challenged.

Opinions of value displayed in documents provided to the revenue authorities absolutely should be backed by a comprehensive report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions.
