We offer appraisals for a number of unique purposes. An insurance appraisal can be used when determining insurance coverage for your assets, in which your items will be valued at their retail replacement value. If you are preparing an estate tax filing, estate planning, or organizing a family division of assets, an estate appraisal is done using the fair market value of the property.

An appraisal is a formal, written, and detailed report, typically performed for estate tax, insurance, or family division purposes, and performed for use by a body such as the IRS or insurance companies. There is a fee for this service, based on the time and scope of the appraisal.
