Estate Appraisals

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful job. You can count on the experienced appraisers at HRI to act quickly and with sensitivity to the feelings of everyone involved.

Attorneys, accountants and financial planners rely on our values when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. We understand their needs and are used to dealing with all parties involved. We provide appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires a qualified appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the property involved. Often, the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is requested. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.

Having a professional appraisal from HRI gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is challenged. Questions? Please call us now for quick and considerate answers.
