Opinions of value shown in documents filed with the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by a comprehensive report as to how the appraiser came to his conclusions. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated. An executor will be over-joyed by a report by Appraisal Associates which will give him irrefutable facts and figures to deal with the IRS and WA state agencies' requirements.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is important to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. |
