Settling an estate commonly depends on an appraisal to show fair market value for the residential property involved. We understand that when you lose a loved one, even thinking about an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, it is possible that the time of death differs from the date the appraisal is required. Harpeth Appraisal assures that we are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our staff to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.
