Michael Manley Appraisals LLC knows 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 departed as promptly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much respect to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Lawyers and accountants count on our conduct when calculating real estate values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. We realize their needs and are familiar with dealing with all parties involved. In relation to our familiarity in working with the legal system and different agencies, we furnish appraisals that always outdo all expectations.

Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the estate in question. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal is requested will differ the date of death. We are accustomed to the systems and requirements needed to produce 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 staff to confidentiality, guaranteeing the fullest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

Most of the time people do not fully appreciate the requirement to have an intricate appraisal produced in support of the numbers shown in general documents filed with revenue authorities.

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the the IRS and CO state agencies definitely should be supported by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser came to his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the CO agencies that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

An executor will be satisfied by an appraisal report by Michael Manley Appraisals LLC which will show the irrefutable facts and numbers to cooperate with any legal agency's requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever refuted.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
