Onsite appraisals are available for private or corporate (trust companies, attorneys, insurance companies, etc.) clients. These are often useful for those requiring the entire contents (or particular collections or items of interest) of a household to be evaluated for estate, legal or insurance purposes. We specialize in the disposal of personal property for banks and trusts, including the purchase and disposal of estates.

Types of Appraisals

Estate Appraisals are appraisals often required by banks, trust companies or attorneys following a death. Ascertaining the Fair Market Value of general household items, art, jewelry and collectibles is the most usual aspect of this type of appraisal.

Legal Appraisals

Legal Appraisals are often used to help settle disputes, such as divorce proceedings. Again, valuation of general household items as well as antiques and collectibles is oftentimes necessary.

Insurance Appraisals

Insurance Appraisals are useful in situations where a client may be attempting to ascertain Replacement Value before insuring an item or after an item has been damaged and a claim has been filed.
