Settling an estate usually demands an appraisal to show market value for the residential property in question. We empathize that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the date an appraisal is requested will be different from the date of death. Michael J. Maher assures that our appraisers are comfortable with the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to perform a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our staff to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family.

This level of documentation will definitely substantiate the evidence that the values presented are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be ecstatic by a report by Michael J. Maher which will provide him irrefutable facts and numbers to work with revenue agencies' requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever refuted.
