Settling an estate generally demands an appraisal to ascertain market value for the residential property involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the date of death differs from the date the appraisal is needed. We are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements needed to provide a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our company to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of privacy for you.

Many times, people do not fully understand the requirement to have a complete appraisal prepared in support of the figures displayed in tax documents filed with revenue authorities.

Opinions of value shown in documents filed with the IRS and Illinois agencies absolutely should be backed by an accurate report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. In having a report backed by Zim Appraisals's expert staff, you will have the knowledge that the numbers shown in the report will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well founded and substantiated.

Having a professional report from Zim Appraisals gives the executor definite facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and Illinois state agency requirements. There's no need to be concerned when getting a report from Zim Appraisals, because we will stand by it no matter what.
