Estate Settlement Appraisals in TN by Jim Pemberton

Settling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as swiftly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much empathy to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Part of Jim Pemberton's drive is to provide top-notch, ethical appraisals that attorneys can rely on. Often, the parties involved will have their own suggestions of how the appraisal process should work; however, our understanding of the estate process definitely satisfy all parties involved. Among our staff, we are accustomed to working with the courts in composing appraisal reports that transcend their necessities.

Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the house therein. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, it is possible that the date of death differs from the time the appraisal is requested. Our company is familiar with the systems and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, assuring the highest degree of privacy for all parties involved.
