At The Expert Appraisal Company, estate appraisal services are provided for high-net-worth estates requiring professional valuation of personal property for estate tax reporting and equitable distribution. Appraisals are prepared for estates that exceed applicable federal or state thresholds, or where accurate, well-supported valuations are necessary for fiduciary and legal decision-making.
This work is informed by over a decade of auction house leadership and fifteen years of fine art and decorative arts–related education and professional practice. Estate appraisals may include fine art, antiques, luxury goods, estate jewelry, collectibles, family heirlooms, firearms, and other significant tangible personal property. Scope and methodology are tailored to the character of the property and the specific needs of the estate and involved parties.
Each appraisal is carefully researched, prepared, and substantiated in compliance with USPAP standards and is suitable for IRS estate tax reporting, probate, trust administration, equitable distribution, and related legal and planning purposes. Services are designed to support attorneys, executors, trustees, and heirs with clear, defensible valuations.
