JMS Appraisal assures that our appraisers are comfortable with the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and CA revenue agencies to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date your loved one passed away. The ethical requirements explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of privacy for you.
