Chris Wagoner understands the special needs of estate executors

Estate settlement is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as promptly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much understanding to the feelings of everyone left behind.

Part of Chris Wagoner's mission statement is to offer top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can rely on. Generally, the parties involved will have different suggestions of how the appraisal process should work; however, our experience of the estate process will undoubtedly satisfy all parties involved. Among our staff, we are accustomed to interacting with law offices in supplying reports that meet their demands.

Generally, settling an estate requires an accurate appraisal report to determine fair market value for the property to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We understand that when you lose a loved one, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, it's possible the time an appraisal report is requested will deviate the date of death. Chris Wagoner assures that we are familiar with the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes us to confidentiality, assuring the strongest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

The importance of ordering a real estate appraisal when cooperating with government agencies to show income when filing documents is often overlooked by most people.

One of the most necessary requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a comprehensive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. A report of this caliber will clearly demonstrate your claim that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be ecstatic by an appraisal by Chris Wagoner which will show him undeniable facts and numbers to deal with revenue agencies' requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the report if it is ever refuted.

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the the IRS and IN state agencies absolutely should be backed by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser came to his conclusions.
