Usually, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to determine market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We know that when you lose a loved one, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the date an appraisal report is needed will differ the date of death. Bowden Appraisal Group assures that we are accustomed to the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to provide a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our appraisers to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

The necessity of having a real estate appraisal when dealing with the IRS to prove income when filing documents is often unknown by most people.

Opinions of value used in documents provided to the IRS and Texas agencies absolutely should be backed by an accurate report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well-founded and correct.

Having a professional appraisal from Bowden Appraisal Group gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and Texas state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the report if it is ever challenged.
