Because of our familiarity in dealing with the legal system and different agencies, we produce appraisals that always meet all expectations.

Commonly, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to determine fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We understand that in times like this, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Of course, it's imperative to take care of your family first. Our staff is familiar with the systems and requirements necessary to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family. All too often, people do not fully appreciate the importance in having a detailed appraisal report produced in support of the numbers being used in tax documents filed with the IRS. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report supported by W.F. Smith Company's professional staff, you will have the peace of mind that the numbers shown in the report will definitely demonstrate to the TX agencies that the numbers used are accurate and correct. Having a professional report from W.F. Smith Company gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and TX state agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to back up our appraisals if they are ever refuted. One of the most important requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
