Estate Settlement Appraisals in MA by Foisy Appraisal Services

Settling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. 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 compassion to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Part of Foisy Appraisal Services's focus is to create top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can rely on. Generally, all parties will have their own suggestions of how the appraisal process should work; however, our understanding of the estate process will undoubtedly satisfy all parties involved. In relation to our familiarity in dealing with the courts and different agencies, we create reports that always outdo all expectations.

Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to establish fair market value for the estate therein. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the date of your loss. Our professional staff is comfortable with the systems and requirements needed to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of discretion for you.

Most people don't realize that the IRS needs documents filed to support the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

Foisy Appraisal Services ensures an substantiated appraisal, which will give an executor accurate facts and figures that will exceed IRS and state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever challenged.
