Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the estate affected. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal is ordered will not match the date of death. We are accustomed to the practices and requirements obligatory to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our company to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

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

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report backed by MacDonnell Appraisals's professional staff, you will have the knowledge that the numbers displayed in the appraisal will certainly demonstrate to the MO agencies that the numbers used are well founded and substantiated.

MacDonnell Appraisals guarantees an well-founded appraisal report, which will give an executor accurate facts and figures that will exceed IRS and revenue agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the report if it is ever refuted.

One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
