Settling an estate commonly demands an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the house therein. We sympathize that in times like this, acquiring an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. So, we understand that the time an appraisal report is ordered will differ the date of death. We are comfortable with the systems and requirements needed to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethical requirements explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

Many people do not understand that the IRS requires information filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most significant requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. In having a report supported by Northstar Appraisal, Inc.'s expert appraisers, you will have the understanding that the numbers displayed in the report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

Having a professional report from Northstar Appraisal, Inc. gives the executor definite facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and ME state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever refuted.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
