Due to this, it is possible that the time of death differs from the date the appraisal is required. Stern & Dragoset Appraisal Group assures that our appraisers are familiar with the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away.

The requirement of ordering an appraisal report when working with the IRS to prove income when filing documents is often overlooked by most people.

A report of this caliber will clearly substantiate your claim that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional report from Stern & Dragoset Appraisal Group gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and NJ state agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because we will be there to back up our reports if they are ever refuted.
