Will my appraisal be accepted by the IRS, insurers, or courts?

AppraiseItNow appraisals are prepared to qualified appraisal standards, including a defined valuation date, documented methodology, appraiser credentials, and a non-contingent fee declaration.

This concentration creates consistent demand for equipment and machinery appraisals, business asset valuations, and insurance appraisals across the state.

What role do appraisals play in Indiana probate proceedings?

Indiana probate law under IC Title 29 requires that asset valuations used in estate settlement meet USPAP standards and IRS requirements for qualified appraisers.
