Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to ascertain market value for the estate in question. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the date an appraisal is ordered will not match the date of death. Durham and Associates assures that we are accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by the federal and Texas revenue agencies to perform a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, ensuring the strongest degree of privacy for you.

Most of the time, people do not fully acknowledge the need to have an exhaustive real estate appraisal prepared in support of the numbers used in tax documents filed with the IRS and Texas state agencies.

One of the most significant requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. In having a report supported by Durham and Associates's professional appraisers, you will have the knowledge that the numbers displayed in the appraisal report will certainly demonstrate to the Texas agencies that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

An executor will be satisfied by a report by Durham and Associates which will provide him irrefutable facts and figures to deal with any legal agency's requirements. You need not worry over anything, because Durham and Associates will be there to back up our appraisals if they are ever challenged.
