Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal differs from the date of your loss. Feikert Appraisal Service assures that we are accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and CA revenue agencies to provide a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one.

Feikert Appraisal Service ensures an accurate report, which will give an executor accurate facts and figures that will meet IRS and state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the report if it is ever refuted.
