Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the property therein. 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 report differs from the time of death. Our staff is accustomed to the practices and requirements needed to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes us to confidentiality, assuring the highest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

All too often, people do not fully appreciate the requirement to have a detailed appraisal produced in support of the numbers being used in tax documents filed with revenue authorities.

In having a report backed by Brockie Appraisal Company's professional appraisers, you will have the understanding that the numbers shown in the appraisal report will definitely demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.
