Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the property in question. We know that in this time of loss, acquiring an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Of course, you need to take care of your family first. Truex Appraisal Services, LLC assures that our staff is familiar with the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our staff to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of privacy for you and your family.

People often forget that the IRS requires documents filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.  In addition, the IRS requires appraisals be completed for their own definition of fair market value (FMV).

Opinions with an IRS defined fair market value displayed in documents provided to the IRS and Indiana agencies definitely should be supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. This sort of report will certainly substantiate the evidence that the numbers within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Truex Appraisal Services, LLC and Truex Residential Appraisers, Inc. will provide a detailed appraisal report, which will give the executor clear facts and figures that will meet all IRS and state agency requirements. There's no need to have anything but peace of mind when getting a real estate appraisal from either Truex Residential Appraisers, Inc. or Truex Appraisal Services, LLC, because we will back our work no matter what.
