Attorneys, Accountants and Estate Executors can rely on Coast Appraisal for valuation of real property. We understand the needs associated with estate appraisals and all the parties involved. We provide appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and tax agencies.

Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the property involved. Often, the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is requested. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.

Opinion of value used in documents filed with the revenue authorities should be supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well founded and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal gives an estate executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and state agency requirements. Working with Coast Appraisal will assure peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is challenged. We have experience giving expert witness testimony in many areas related to property value.
