Settling an estate commonly demands an appraisal to establish market value for the house therein. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the time of death. CFB Appraisal assures that our staff is knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements requested by the federal and Texas revenue agencies to provide a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, certifying the fullest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

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

An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

CFB Appraisal ensures a detailed appraisal, which will give an executor clear facts and figures that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever challenged.
