Estate and Gift Tax

HSSK provides professionally developed opinions of Fair Market Value for use in complying with Federal estate and gift tax laws. We are guided by the applicable IRS code sections, rulings and court decisions (including Revenue Ruling 59-60) dealing with the appraisal of all types of closely held business equities. Additionally, as in all of our appraisals, we follow the business valuation standards set forth by the American Society of Appraisers and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The result is an independent and defendable opinion of value likely to withstand challenges.

The entire area of estate and gift tax valuations is a constantly shifting field making it all the more critical to have a qualified appraiser be part of a client's estate planning team. The professionals at HSSK should be part of this team.
