Generally, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to establish fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal report deviates from the time of death. Homeland Appraisals assures that we are accustomed to the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and MI revenue agencies to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death.
