Estate Appraisals

The VanEtten Company provides appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies.  Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to establish an opinion of market value for the real property involved.  Often, the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is requested.  The VanEtten Company is familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive 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 as we adhere to Privacy Policy Guidelines. All too often, people do not fully appreciate the need to have a detailed real estate appraisal prepared in support of the numbers being used in documents filed with revenue authorities.  

The VanEtten Company has completed Estate Appraisal for local attorneys and probate court over the years.  Having a local appraisal firm handle your Estate Appraisal is very important as we understand the market from the buying and selling of real property. Having a professional appraisal 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.
