Commonly, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to ascertain market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We sympathize that in times like this, even thinking about an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, now and then the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is required. Bernabe & Barnett assures that our appraisers are comfortable with the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to produce a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our company to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of discretion for you and your family.

Most of the time, people do not fully acknowledge the requirement to have a complete appraisal produced in support of the numbers shown in tax documents filed with the IRS and North Carolina state agencies.

One of the most important requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This level of documentation will definitely substantiate the evidence that the values within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional appraisal from Bernabe & Barnett gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and North Carolina state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever refuted.
