Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the property involved. We understand that in this time of loss, acquiring an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the time an appraisal report is needed will not match the date of death. Our staff is accustomed to the systems and requirements necessary to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes us to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.

Many people do not understand that the IRS requires reports filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. A report of this caliber will definitely demonstrate the evidence that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional report from Resource Bank gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and LA state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the report if it is ever challenged.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
