Appraisals for Estate Settlement by Crest Appraisal Services

Estate settlement is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as promptly and exactly as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much sympathy to the feelings of everyone left behind.

Settling an estate most often demands an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the property therein.

Because of this, often there will be times that the effective date of an appraisal deviates from the time of death. Our staff is familiar with the systems 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 stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our staff to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.
