Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to show market value for the home therein. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the time an appraisal is requested will deviate the date of death. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to provide a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of privacy for you.

Many times, people do not fully fathom the necessity in having an exhaustive real estate appraisal supplied in support of the numbers shown in general documents filed with the IRS and Illinois state agencies.

One of the most important requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

An executor will be ecstatic by a report by Beekman & Associates which will provide him solid 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 report if it is ever refuted.
