Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to determine market value for the house in question. We empathize that when you lose a loved one, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal deviates from the time of death. Tim Spaulding & Associates assures that we are familiar with the procedures and requirements needed by the federal and Virginia revenue agencies to produce a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical requirements stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our company to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of discretion for you and your family.
