Usually, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to show fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We empathize that in this time of loss, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the time of death differs from the date the appraisal is requested. We are familiar with the systems and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our staff to confidentiality, assuring the strongest degree of discretion for you.

Often, people do not fully realize the need to have a detailed real estate appraisal produced in support of the numbers displayed in tax documents filed with the IRS and TX state agencies.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. This sort of report will clearly substantiate your claim that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Zacour & Associates, Inc. guarantees an detailed appraisal report, which will provide an executor solid facts and numbers that will meet IRS and state agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because Zacour & Associates, Inc. will be there to stand by our work if they are ever refuted.

Opinions of value shown in documents filed with the revenue authorities definitely should be backed by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions.
