Generally, 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. So, there's a chance the date an appraisal report is requested will be different from the date of death. Our company is comfortable with the procedures and requirements obligatory to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes us to confidentiality, assuring the highest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

Most of the time people do not fully realize the need to have a comprehensive appraisal report prepared in support of the numbers shown in general documents filed with the IRS.

In having a report supported by Clay Wells & Associates, Inc.'s expert appraisers, you will have the peace of mind that the numbers provided in the appraisal will certainly demonstrate to the KY agencies that the numbers used are well founded and correct.
