Scott Evans understands the special needs of estate executors

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful task. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as quickly and exactly as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much compassion to the feelings of everyone involved.

Part of Scott Evans's focus is to supply top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can depend on. We cater to their needs and are familiar with dealing with all parties involved. We provide appraisal reports that out-strip the needs of the legal system and various agencies.

Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the property therein. We know that in times like this, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, now and then the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is needed. Scott Evans assures that our appraisers are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, assuring the highest degree of privacy for you and your family.

People often forget that the IRS requires documents filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This sort of report will clearly substantiate your claim that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Scott Evans will provide an detailed appraisal, which will provide an executor clear facts and numbers that will exceed IRS and state agency requirements. There's no need to worry when getting an appraisal from us, because we will support it no matter what.

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the the IRS and PA state agencies definitely should be backed by an accurate report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions.
