It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind.

People often forget that the IRS requires documents filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated. An executor will be satisfied by an appraisal by Sax & Associates, Inc. which will provide him solid facts and figures to cooperate with the IRS and OR state agencies' requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged. One of the most important requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
