Settling an estate can be a complex and important job. Trust in the services of Susan Kitzmiller, a licensed appraiser in Hyattsville, MD, to get the outcome that suits your needs. Everybody lives a busy life today, and as an executor, you may be under pressure from the heirs to follow through with every step of the process rapidly. Our function is to relieve the burden of the valuation of any real property or personal property involved in the estate with estate property appraisals. You have been given a position of trust. We know that you are concerned with doing the right thing and doing it correctly. You have inherited the responsibility to act prudently. We have provided estate property appraisals of real property and personal property in many estates, yet we recognize this may be your first, and that settling an estate is not only about the settlement. Often the settlement of an estate helps to bring part of the closure needed to move forward, and we do our best to help to make that a comfortable progression.
Attorneys and accountants
rely on the values of a licensed appraiser when
calculating property values for estates, trusts or other matters requiring a
value being placed on real estate and personal property. We understand the needs of their clients and are used to
dealing with all parties involved. We provide appraisal reports that meet the
requirements of the courts and various agencies.
Settling an estate usually requires a licensed appraiser
to establish Fair Market Value for the property involved.
Often, the date of death differs from the
date the appraisal is requested. We are familiar with the procedures and
requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective
date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics
provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
(USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of
discretion.
