Executors and personal representatives carry real accountability for the accuracy of estate asset values, and a professionally prepared appraisal is the most reliable way to meet that responsibility.

During probate, the executor or personal representative of an estate is responsible for inventorying and establishing the value of the decedent’s personal property — and bears personal accountability for the accuracy of those figures. A professional appraisal conducted by an ISA Certified Appraiser of Personal Property gives the executor a credible, independently prepared valuation to present to the court and to beneficiaries, protecting against challenges from heirs and providing a clear, defensible record of asset values at the time of death. We work with executors, estate attorneys, and trust officers to deliver thorough, professionally prepared reports on a timeline that keeps the estate moving forward.
