Usually, settling an estate requires an irrefutable appraisal report to establish fair market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved.

The ethical requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of discretion for you and your family.
