Why Choose A Qualified Furniture Appraiser?
The value of furniture, especially antique and vintage pieces, can fluctuate significantly based on market trends, condition, provenance, and historical significance. A professional furniture appraisal provides an unbiased, meticulously researched valuation. You may need an appraisal for:
- Estate Planning & Probate: When settling an estate, a precise estate furniture appraisal is crucial for distributing inheritances, determining federal estate and gift tax liability, and navigating probate matters. We are experienced in providing valuations of household furnishings for wills and probate estates.
- Financial Planning: Get an accurate valuation of your assets for overall financial planning.
- Divorce & Equitable Distribution: In cases of divorce or other legal disputes, a fair market value assessment of household furnishings and personal property is vital for equitable distribution.
- Sales & Acquisitions: Understand the true value of your pieces before buying or selling, whether it’s at a furniture auction or through private sale. We can provide pre-sale valuations to help you make informed decisions.
- Charitable Donations: If you’re considering donating valuable furniture, a qualified appraisal for charitable contributions is essential for IRS tax deductions. We provide IRS qualified appraisals that meet all requirements.
- Insurance: Ensure your valuable antique and fine furniture are adequately covered against loss, damage, or theft. Our insurance appraisals provide the documentation your insurer needs.
