Estate Settlement Appraisals in IA by McGivern Valuation and Consulting

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful task. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as quickly and exactly as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much respect to the feelings of everyone left behind.

Part of McGivern Valuation and Consulting's mission statement is to offer top-notch, ethical appraisals that attorneys can depend on. We cater to their needs and are familiar with helping with all parties involved. In our company, we are used to working with legal agencies in assembling appraisals that exceed their necessities.

Settling an estate commonly demands an appraisal to establish fair market value for the property in question. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Of course, it's imperative to comfort your family first. McGivern Valuation and Consulting assures that our appraisers are accustomed to the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and IA revenue agencies to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our staff to confidentiality, providing the highest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

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

One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. In having a report supported by McGivern Valuation and Consulting's professional appraisers, you will have the peace of mind that the numbers provided in the appraisal report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well founded and substantiated.

McGivern Valuation and Consulting ensures an well-founded report, which will give an executor accurate facts and figures that will meet IRS and state agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to back up our appraisals if they are ever challenged.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
