D.W. Slater Company knows the special needs of estate executors

Settling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as quickly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much compassion to the feelings of everyone involved.

Lawyers and accountants rely on our conduct when calculating real estate values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a worth being placed on real property. We realize their needs and are accustomed to working with all parties involved. We create appraisal reports that surpass the requirements of the legal system and different groups.

Contact us immediately to discuss your precise estate appraisal demands and how we can put our knowledge to work for you.

Usually, settling an estate necessitates an irrefutable appraisal report to suggest fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We understand that when you lose a loved one, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there will be times that the effective date of an appraisal differs from the time of death. We are comfortable with the practices and requirements needed to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of privacy for you and your family.

People often forget that the IRS requires documents filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

D.W. Slater Company ensures an accurate appraisal, which will provide an executor solid facts and figures that will exceed IRS and state agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever refuted.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
