is best to get an appraisal before you need one. You will need an
appraisal for: |

Donations
and gifts |
| |
Determining
your net worth |
| |
Division
of property |
| |
Informed
buying |
| |

|
| Why
Do I Need an Appraisal? |
| Is
an Appraisal a Legal Document? YES |
| |
An
appraisal by a qualified appraiser can act as a legal document
in insurance settlements, divorces, estate proceedings and
other matters involving personal property. |
|
| |
| What
about the Internal Revenue Service? |
| |
The
IRS requires verifiable documentation on the value of property
donated to a non-profit organization. An appraisal in accordance
with IRS regulations and guidelines provides you with the
information needed to document your donation. |
|
| |
| Donations
and Gifts |
| |
An
appraisal allows you to knowledgeably plan your gifts and
donations. In some cases a qualified appraisal is required
for tax and other purposes. |
|
| |
|
| Determining
Your Net Worth |
| |
You
may need to know your exact net worth in order to meet a business
or investment need. The appraised value of your personal property–art,
antiques, furniture, etc.–increases your total net worth
through accurate documentation. |
|
| |
|
| Division
of Property |
| |
Your
personal property may require division due to dissolution
of marriage, bankruptcy or death. A current appraisal provides
you with the necessary information and documentation to assure
equitable distribution. |
|
| |
|
| Informed
Buying |
| |
Considering
the purchase of an expensive item such as a painting or antique?
An appraisal can assist you in making an informed purchase. |
|
| |
|
| Estate
Planning |
| |
An
up-to-date appraisal attached to your will reassures your
heirs, lawyers, and accountants and will save you money and
assist in avoiding unpleasantness. |
|
| |
|
| Obtaining
Insurance |
| |
A
current appraisal is required for many insurance policies
covering fine art, silver, decorative arts, and jewelry. An
appraisal updated on a regular basis establishes the accurate
replacement value of your personal property and protects you
from major financial losses caused by theft, fire and flood. |
|
| |
| How
is Value Determined? |
| |
An
appraiser uses a variety of tools: reference works, online
electronic databases, and historical documents; and may consult
with additional specialists in the field. Based on the analysis
of the research, the appraiser produces an appraisal report
detailing the appropriate valuation of your personal property. |
|
|
|
| Fees |
| The
fee is $200.00 per hour. There is a 2 hour minimum. |
