A signing real-property appraiser relies on analysis performed by others who do not sign the certification. Under USPAP 2024 SR 2-3(b)–(c), which statement correctly describes the signing appraiser’s responsibilities?

Correct Answer

D) The signer is responsible for relying on their work and must have reason to trust it

The signer is responsible for deciding to rely on nonsigners’ work, needs a reasonable basis for their competence and no reason to doubt their work’s credibility. Signing any part also requires certification. These USPAP duties do not automatically allocate civil liability equally among everyone involved.

Answer Options
A
USPAP divides the legal liability equally between the signer and each assistant
B
The signer has no responsibility because other individuals performed the analysis
C
Labeling the signature as administrative avoids the need to sign the certification
D
The signer is responsible for relying on their work and must have reason to trust it

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The signer is responsible for deciding to rely on nonsigners’ work, needs a reasonable basis for their competence and no reason to doubt their work’s credibility. Signing any part also requires certification. These USPAP duties do not automatically allocate civil liability equally among everyone involved.
