Metropolitan Appraisals, Inc. understands the special needs of estate executors

Estate settlement is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as promptly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much understanding to the feelings of everyone left behind.

Part of Metropolitan Appraisals, Inc.'s drive is to offer top-notch, ethical appraisals that attorneys can rely on. There are specific needs for everyone; we comprehend these needs and are familiar to working with all parties involved. We assemble appraisal reports that transcend the needs of the courts and various groups.

Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential property affected. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the time of death. Our professional staff is knowledgeable about the practices and requirements needed to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical obligations listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, guaranteeing the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family.

All too often, people do not fully fathom the necessity in having a complete appraisal report produced in support of the numbers being used in tax documents filed with revenue authorities.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. This sort of report will certainly show your claim that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be ecstatic by a report by Metropolitan Appraisals, Inc. which will provide him solid facts and figures to work with any legal agency's requirements. You need not stress over anything, because we will be there to stand by our work if they are ever refuted.
