![]() Marshall Zerner Associates knows the special needs of estate executorsSettling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful task. 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 sympathy to the feelings of everyone left behind. Part of Marshall Zerner Associates's mission statement is to produce top-notch, ethical appraisals that attorneys can depend on. Sometimes, all parties will have differing ideas of how the appraisal process should work; however, our knowledge of the estate process will undoubtedly satisfy all parties involved. In our company, we are accustomed to interacting with legal agencies in supplying appraisal reports that out-strip their needs. Contact us as soon as possible to discuss your precise estate appraisal needs and how we can put our business acumen to work for you. Settling an estate usually demands an appraisal to establish fair market value for the property therein. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the effective date of an appraisal deviates from the date of your loss. Our company is knowledgeable about the systems and requirements needed to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethics provision listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our staff to confidentiality, providing the highest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones. All too often, people do not fully fathom the importance in having a comprehensive appraisal produced in support of the numbers displayed in general documents filed with the IRS and NJ state agencies. An exhaustive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report supported by Marshall Zerner Associates's professional staff, you will have the understanding that the numbers displayed in the appraisal report will clearly demonstrate to the NJ agencies that the numbers used are accurate and correct. Having a professional appraisal report from Marshall Zerner Associates gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and NJ state agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever challenged. One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
