Usually, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to show fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal is needed will differ the date of death. Lakes Appraisals, LLC assures that our appraisers are familiar with the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and MN revenue agencies to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one.

This sort of report will certainly show the evidence that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate.
