 Insurance Appraisals
An insurance appraisal is the retail replacement cost of an item today. It is the cost to duplicate the item in a retail environment. We can examine and identify all types of diamonds, jewelry or watches and issue official appraisal documents for your insurance company and your personal records.
Estate Appraisals
An estate appraisal indicates the actual cash value of an item in today's market. This type of appraisal should be used for estate purposes, thus saving inheritance taxes (if applicable). The charge for an estate appraisal is lower than an insurance appraisal. If a verbal estate appraisal is preferred there is usually no charge.
Whether your reason is to properly file a timely estate inventory after the death of a relative or to help make a fair division of property, we can help. You may even have seldom or never used articles that you wish to sell because you have a better use for the cash they represent.
