Intended user and intended use!

That can explain why their economy not doing as well.

The population, like China-Russia-much of Europe-USA, is imploding with few babies and people living long lives. The demographic is against them.

You never had a mortgage broker at one time asked you if you spoke a certain language because the owner of property prefers such an appraiser.

So do you speak Spanish? I have a friend who is half-Filipino and half white and Hispanics walk up to him and start talking in Spanish...doesn't know a word of it. His mother doesn't even speak it well and there were lots of Spanish speaking folk from the Philippines.

The best way to communicate the scope of work and intended user, especially when there is a language barrier, is in writing. This ensures clarity and provides a documented record that both parties can refer to if any questions or disputes arise. Written communication, preferably translated into the client's language by a translator, helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures that all legal and professional requirements are clearly understood and agreed upon.

La mejor manera de comunicar el alcance del trabajo y el usuario previsto en una tarea de tasación, especialmente cuando hay una barrera idiomática, es por escrito. Esto asegura claridad y proporciona un registro documentado al que ambas partes pueden referirse en caso de surgir preguntas o disputas. La comunicación escrita, preferiblemente traducida al idioma del cliente por un traductor, ayuda a evitar malentendidos y asegura que todos los requisitos legales y profesionales se entiendan claramente y se acuerden adecuadamente.

In appraisal gigs, 'specially when yer dealin' with a language hitch, the smart move is to scribble it all down on paper. That keeps things clear as creek water, and gives y’all a paper trail if any fuss or misunderstandings come up. Gettin' it all writ out, and maybe even translated into the client’s own talk by a translator, makes sure no one's left scratchin' their head. This way, all the legal and professional bits are laid out plain and agreed on by everyone involved (WV lingo-sometimes I need a translator).

It's easy to do with a translator, including tools like Google.

Sounds like a narrative appraisal assignment to me. Yes, you can include it is not intended for mortgage purposes.

The only intended user is the owner. The owner intends on the IRS using it. The IRS is not an intended user of the appraiser.

I am being facetious. Do they have like an accountant that handles their taxes?

Let the accountant hire you. Verify all the credentials on the accountant.

Here is my deal. You know they are already dealing with the IRS. They need a lawyer and/or accountant to hire you.

You can do it with owner hiring you but safest way would be their lawyer and/or accountant hiring you.

You can list owner as your only intended user. Be careful on definition of value you use. Be careful on effective date.

Never speculate what the intended use and users are. You think there is a communication issue now? Wait til it comes back at you.

Try using google translator and let me know if it really works.
Will be using it when I go to Japan. I'm surprise not many people in Japan speak English.
I tried to learn some Japanese but so hard for me to pronounce.
I will be lost there but at least it's very safe there.

I would not say it is safe in Japan. Many Americans and other foreigners get themselves in plenty of trouble with the police. There can be complications. They can and do throw people into jail for 23 days and not allow them to notify relatives or to even search for an attorney So, the first thing you should do when you get to Japan, if not before, is make sure you have the name of an English speaking Japanese attorney written on you arm or memorized.

Also, in much of Japan there are not simple street addresses like in the US. Every thing is located by smaller regions inside larger ones. You need an iPhone app to find your way around - and you should learn how to use it before you go to Japan.
