(the &#8220;Registrant&#8221;) sent a letter to pension plan trustees and IRA custodians providing 2014 annual estimated unit values. A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such exhibit and the information set forth therein are deemed to have been furnished and shall not be deemed to be &#8220;filed&#8221; under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 8.01.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Other Events</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Because fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to ERISA and IRA custodians are required to determine and report the value of the assets held in their respective plans or accounts on an annual basis, the general partners of the Registrant are required under the partnership agreement to report estimated unit values to the limited partners each year in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K. The methodology to be utilized for determining such estimated unit values under the partnership agreement requires the general partners to estimate the amount a unit holder would receive assuming that the Registrant's properties were sold at their estimated fair market values as of the end of the Registrant's fiscal year and the proceeds therefrom, plus the amount of net sale proceeds held by Registrant at year-end from previous property sales, if any, were distributed to the limited partners in liquidation in accordance with the net sale proceeds distribution allocation outlined in the Registrant's partnership agreement. The estimated unit valuations are intended to be an estimate of the distributions that would be made to limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Registrant in the Registrant's original public offering of units, taking into account conversion elections as provided for in the partnership agreement.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">The general partners of the Registrant recently completed their estimated unit valuations as of December 31, 2014. Utilizing the foregoing methodology, the general partners of the Registrant have estimated the Registrant's unit valuations, based upon their estimates of property values as of December 31, 2014, to be approximately $4.30 per &#8220;Cash-Preferred&#8221; Unit and $4.17 per &#8220;Tax-Preferred&#8221; Unit, based upon market conditions existing in early December 2014.  These estimates should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners' units, what limited partners might be able to sell their units for, or the fair market value of the Registrant's remaining property, nor do they necessarily represent the amount of net proceeds limited partners would receive if the Registrant's remaining property was sold and the proceeds distributed in a liquidation of the Registrant. There is no established public trading market for the Registrant's limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a public trading market for the units will ever develop. In addition, property values are subject to change and could decline in the future. While, as required by the partnership agreement, the general partners have obtained an opinion from The David L. Beal Company, an independent MAI appraiser, to the effect that such estimates of value were deemed reasonable and were prepared in accordance with appropriate methods for valuing real estate, no actual appraisals were obtained due to the inordinate expense that would be involved in obtaining an appraisal for the Registrant's remaining property.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">The valuations performed by the general partners are estimates only and are based on a number of assumptions which may not be accurate or complete and may or may not be applicable to any specific limited partnership units. For example, as a result of the availability of conversion elections under the partnership agreement and the resulting complexities involved relating to the distribution methodology under the partnership agreement, each limited partnership unit of the Registrant potentially has its own unique characteristics as to distributions and value. These estimated valuations assume, and are applicable only to limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Registrant in the Registrant's original public offering of units. Further, as set forth above, no third-party appraisals have been or will be obtained. For these reasons, the estimated unit valuations set forth above should not be used by or relied upon by investors, other than fiduciaries of retirement plans and IRA custodians for limited ERISA and IRA reporting purposes, as a factor for consideration in the determination of the fair market value of their units. In addition, it should be noted that ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA custodians may use estimated unit valuations obtained from other sources, such as prices paid for the Registrant's units in secondary market trades, and that such estimated unit valuations may well be lower than those estimated by the general partners using the methodology required by the partnership agreement.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0564F80ADB7400788F573C0F46BF53BA"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">It also should be noted that the Registrant is in the process of selling its remaining property. In considering the foregoing estimated unit valuations, it should be noted that the Registrant has previously distributed net sale proceeds in the amount of $4.36 per &#8220;Cash-Preferred&#8221; Unit and $7.89 per &#8220;Tax-Preferred&#8221; Unit to its limited partners. These amounts are intended to represent the per unit distributions received by limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Registrant in the Registrant's original public offering of units, and who have made no conversion elections under the partnership agreement. Limited partners who have made one or more conversion elections would have received a different level of per-unit distribution.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure
On or about January 30, 2015, Wells Real Estate Fund XIII, L.P. (the "Registrant") sent a letter to pension plan trustees and IRA custodians providing 2014 annual estimated unit values. A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such exhibit and the information set forth therein are deemed to have been furnished and shall not be deemed to be "filed" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Item 8.01.
Other Events
Because fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to ERISA and IRA custodians are required to determine and report the value of the assets held in their respective plans or accounts on an annual basis, the general partners of the Registrant are required under the partnership agreement to report estimated unit values to the limited partners each year in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K. The methodology to be utilized for determining such estimated unit values under the partnership agreement requires the general partners to estimate the amount a unit holder would receive assuming that the Registrant's properties were sold at their estimated fair market values as of the end of the Registrant's fiscal year and the proceeds therefrom, plus the amount of net sale proceeds held by Registrant at year-end from previous property sales, if any, were distributed to the limited partners in liquidation in accordance with the net sale proceeds distribution allocation outlined in the Registrant's partnership agreement. The estimated unit valuations are intended to be an estimate of the distributions that would be made to limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Registrant in the Registrant's original public offering of units, taking into account conversion elections as provided for in the partnership agreement.
The general partners of the Registrant recently completed their estimated unit valuations as of December 31, 2014. Utilizing the foregoing methodology, the general partners of the Registrant have estimated the Registrant's unit valuations, based upon their estimates of property values as of December 31, 2014, to be approximately $4.30 per "Cash-Preferred" Unit and $4.17 per "Tax-Preferred" Unit, based upon market conditions existing in early December 2014.  These estimates should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners' units, what limited partners might be able to sell their units for, or the fair market value of the Registrant's remaining property, nor do they necessarily represent the amount of net proceeds limited partners would receive if the Registrant's remaining property was sold and the proceeds distributed in a liquidation of the Registrant. There is no established public trading market for the Registrant's limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a public trading market for the units will ever develop. In addition, property values are subject to change and could decline in the future. While, as required by the partnership agreement, the general partners have obtained an opinion from The David L. Beal Company, an independent MAI appraiser, to the effect that such estimates of value were deemed reasonable and were prepared in accordance with appropriate methods for valuing real estate, no actual appraisals were obtained due to the inordinate expense that would be involved in obtaining an appraisal for the Registrant's remaining property.
The valuations performed by the general partners are estimates only and are based on a number of assumptions which may not be accurate or complete and may or may not be applicable to any specific limited partnership units. For example, as a result of the availability of conversion elections under the partnership agreement and the resulting complexities involved relating to the distribution methodology under the partnership agreement, each limited partnership unit of the Registrant potentially has its own unique characteristics as to distributions and value. These estimated valuations assume, and are applicable only to limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Registrant in the Registrant's original public offering of units. Further, as set forth above, no third-party appraisals have been or will be obtained. For these reasons, the estimated unit valuations set forth above should not be used by or relied upon by investors, other than fiduciaries of retirement plans and IRA custodians for limited ERISA and IRA reporting purposes, as a factor for consideration in the determination of the fair market value of their units. In addition, it should be noted that ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA custodians may use estimated unit valuations obtained from other sources, such as prices paid for the Registrant's units in secondary market trades, and that such estimated unit valuations may well be lower than those estimated by the general partners using the methodology required by the partnership agreement.
2
It also should be noted that the Registrant is in the process of selling its remaining property. In considering the foregoing estimated unit valuations, it should be noted that the Registrant has previously distributed net sale proceeds in the amount of $4.36 per "Cash-Preferred" Unit and $7.89 per "Tax-Preferred" Unit to its limited partners. These amounts are intended to represent the per unit distributions received by limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Registrant in the Registrant's original public offering of units, and who have made no conversion elections under the partnership agreement. Limited partners who have made one or more conversion elections would have received a different level of per-unit distribution.
