Usually, settling an estate necessitates an accurate appraisal report to ascertain fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Of course, you have to comfort your loved ones first. Kelli Hand Appraisal Company, LLC assures that we are familiar with the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and MO revenue agencies to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death.
