Property Valuations for Estate Settlement by Rowley Appraisal Service

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 swiftly and respectfully as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much respect to the feelings of everyone involved.

Part of Rowley Appraisal Service's mission statement is to produce top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can depend on. There are required needs for everyone; we understand these needs and are familiar to dealing with all parties involved. We create appraisal reports that transcend the needs of the legal system and assorted groups.

Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to establish fair market value for the estate in question. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal report is needed will not match the date of death. Our professional staff is knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements necessary 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 ethical obligations listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, guaranteeing the highest degree of privacy for all parties involved.
