Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to establish fair market value for the estate involved. We know that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the date an appraisal is needed will not match the date of death.

The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our company to confidentiality, certifying the fullest degree of privacy for you.
