Estate Settlement Appraisals in GA by S. Craig Watkins

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful job. 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 compassion to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Part of S. Craig Watkins's drive is to create top-notch, ethical appraisals that attorneys can rely on. Usually, all parties will have different expectations of how the appraisal process should work; however, our knowledge of the estate process will undoubtedly satisfy all parties involved. In our company, we are accustomed to working with legal agencies in producing appraisals that out-strip their necessities.

Settling an estate commonly depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the estate in question. We understand that when you lose a loved one, ordering an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Of course, it's expected that you need to be there for your loved ones first. Our staff is accustomed to the procedures and requirements necessary to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical requirements stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

People often forget that the IRS requires documents filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales.

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