Settling an estate commonly requires an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the estate affected. We understand that when you lose a loved one, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, there is a chance that the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is ordered. Hughes Appraisal Group assures that we are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

Often, people do not fully understand the demand to have an exhaustive appraisal report produced in support of the numbers being used in tax documents filed with the IRS and AZ state agencies.

Opinions of value used in documents provided to the revenue authorities definitely should be supported by an accurate report as to how the appraiser came to his conclusions. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal from Hughes Appraisal Group gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and AZ state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever refuted.

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