Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the home in question. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, now and then the date of death differs from the time the appraisal is requested. Ostlund Appraisals assures that our appraisers are accustomed to the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our company to confidentiality, providing the highest degree of discretion for you and your family.
