So, it's possible the time an appraisal is needed will be different from the date of death. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to supply 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 stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our company to confidentiality, assuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family.
