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

Opinions of value displayed in documents provided to the revenue authorities definitely should be supported by an accurate report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the CO agencies that the numbers used are well-founded and correct.

It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged.

One of the most significant requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
