Settling an estate usually demands an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the house therein. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal differs from the time of death. West Michigan Appraisal assures that our staff are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and MI revenue agencies 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 ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.

Often, people do not fully appreciate the importance in having a comprehensive appraisal report produced in support of the numbers shown in general documents filed with the IRS.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. A report of this caliber will clearly demonstrate your claim that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be over-joyed by a report by West Michigan Appraisal which will provide him irrefutable facts and numbers to cooperate with revenue agencies' requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because we will be there to back up our appraisals if they are ever refuted.

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