Settling an estate usually demands an appraisal to ascertain fair market value for the property involved. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal report differs from the time of death. JR Witt & Assoc. assures that our appraisers are accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and NH revenue agencies to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

The necessity of ordering an appraisal when working with the IRS to explain income when filing documents is often misunderstood by most people.

An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

Having a professional appraisal from JR Witt & Assoc. gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and NH 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 significant requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
