Usually, settling an estate requires an irrefutable appraisal report to establish fair market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there can be times that the effective date of an appraisal differs from the date of your loss. Terra Nova Appraisals Inc. assures that our staff are accustomed to the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical requirements explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, guaranteeing the highest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

All too often, people do not fully fathom the need to have a comprehensive appraisal report produced in support of the numbers displayed in tax documents filed with the IRS and CA state agencies.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

Having a professional appraisal from Terra Nova Appraisals Inc. gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and CA state agency requirements. There's no need to have anything but peace of mind when getting a report from us, because we will support it no matter what.

One of the most necessary requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
