Settling an estate generally demands an appraisal to determine market value for the residential property involved. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the time an appraisal report is needed will not match the date of death. Our staff is comfortable with the practices and requirements obligatory to provide 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 requirements explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family.

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

A comprehensive 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 definitely demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well-founded and correct.

Having a professional appraisal from Pinnacle Appraisal Group gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and Washington state agency requirements. There's no need to worry when getting a report from us, because we will back it no matter what.
