Appraisals for Estate Settlement by Hemsley Appraisal, LLCSettling an estate often requires a real estate appraisal to determine the fair market value of a home as of the date of death. At Hemsley Appraisal, LLC, we understand this is a sensitive and often overwhelming time. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and respectful as possible, while providing the credible, retrospective valuations required for estate settlement, probate, or estate tax filings. Whether the effective date is the date of death or the alternate date allowed by the IRS (six months later), we prepare thorough, accurate appraisal reports that meet the documentation standards expected by the IRS and Florida Department of Revenue. We do not provide expert witness services or court appearances, but our appraisal reports are developed to be clear, well-supported, and defensible—ensuring your documentation stands up to scrutiny if ever reviewed. Contact us as soon as possible to discuss your exact estate appraisal essentials and how we can put our experience to work for you. Our work is performed in full compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), ensuring confidentiality and professionalism throughout the process. Many executors and heirs are unaware that tax filings often require a detailed, substantiated real estate valuation. We deliver well-founded reports that offer peace of mind to executors, attorneys, and accountants—helping to satisfy all parties involved without the need for courtroom involvement. One of the most significant requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. |
