Declaration of Appraiser

I declare that I am not the donor, the donee, a party to the transaction in which the donor acquired the property, employed by, or related to any

of the foregoing persons, or married to any person who is related to any of the foregoing persons. And, if regularly used by the donor, donee, or

party to the transaction, I performed the majority of my appraisals during my tax year for other persons.

Also, I declare that I hold myself out to the public as an appraiser or perform appraisals on a regular basis; and that because of my qualifications

as described in the appraisal, I am qualified to make appraisals of the type of property being valued. I certify that the appraisal fees were not based

on a percentage of the appraised property value. Furthermore, I understand that a false or fraudulent overstatement of the property value as

described in the qualified appraisal or this appraisal summary may subject me to the penalty under section 6701(a) (aiding and abetting the

understatement of tax liability). I affirm that I have not been barred from presenting evidence or testimony by the Director of Practice.
