Due to this, there is a chance that the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is required. Our company is comfortable with the practices and requirements needed to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our staff to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of privacy for you.
