Michael Mientka understands the special needs of estate executors

Estate settlement is an important and sometimes stressful job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as promptly 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.

Attorneys and accountants depend on our ideals when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. There are required needs for everyone; we realize these necessities and are familiar to working with all parties involved. Among our staff, we are used to working with law offices in composing reports that exceed their needs.

Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the estate therein. We know that when you lose a loved one, ordering an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, there is a chance that the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is required. Michael Mientka assures that we are accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of discretion for all parties involved.

The requirement of having an appraisal report when dealing with revenue services to show income when filing documents is often not considered by most people.

Opinions of value used in documents provided to the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by a comprehensive report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. A report of this caliber will definitely substantiate your claim that the numbers displayed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Michael Mientka will provide an substantiated appraisal, which will provide an executor clear facts and numbers that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because Michael Mientka will be there to back up our reports if they are ever refuted.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
