Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to show fair market value for the residential property involved. We know that in this time of loss, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, sometimes the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is requested. Our professional staff is comfortable with the practices and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of privacy for you and your family.

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

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the revenue authorities definitely should be backed by a comprehensive report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal report from Charles Matlon gives the executor definite facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and IN state agency requirements. There's no need to be stressed out when getting an appraisal from Charles Matlon, because we will stand by it no matter what.

One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
