⦁ Tax Purposes: Accurate appraisals are necessary for calculating estate taxes. The value of the real estate must be reported accurately to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state tax authorities.
⦁ Equitable Distribution: When an estate includes multiple beneficiaries, appraisals help ensure that the distribution of assets is equitable, reducing the potential for disputes.
