Douglas Gonzalez knows the special needs of estate executors

The job of settling an estate, while stressful is very important. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as quickly and respectfully as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much understanding to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Attorneys and accountants count on our ethics when calculating real estate values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. Usually, the parties involved will have differing expectations of how the appraisal process should work; however, our experience of the estate process definitely satisfy all parties involved. In our company, we are used to dealing with law offices in writing appraisals that surpass their needs.

Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the house affected. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal report is ordered will be different from the date of death. Our staff is accustomed to the procedures and requirements obligatory to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of discretion for you.

All too often, people do not fully understand the need to have an exhaustive appraisal supplied in support of the numbers displayed in general documents filed with the IRS.

One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. A report of this caliber will certainly substantiate the evidence that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional report from Douglas Gonzalez gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and CA state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever refuted.
