Preliminary
Narrative Appraisals
For Attorneys, Banks, Executors, & Fiduciaries
|
Sometimes you find yourself dealing with an estate or personal property situation
where you are uncertain whether there is sufficient value to warrant the expense
of a complete appraisal. For these situations we offer Preliminary Narrative Appraisals
which can be especially helpful for Attorneys, Banks, Executors and Fiduciaries.
With a Preliminary Narrative Appraisal we can personally inspect the estate or
personal property situation and provide a quick, low cost written opinion of value
in order to help our clients decide whether a more detailed USPAP Appraisal is
warranted. More
specifically, we can personally inspect the personal property and issue a written
narrative report which provides: - A
general situation overview.
- A
narrative breakdown of various personal property categories such as furniture,
art, glassware, jewelry, personal items, vehicles, etc.
- Identification
of items that may have above-average value.
- Vehicle
specifics (VIN, mileage, condition, etc).
- A
Valuation Summary Total which provides a ballpark range of value of what we saw.
- Asset
disposition suggestions and recommendations.
- Digital
images, where appropriate or upon request.
- This
narrative will adhere to USPAP guidelines and protocol.
When
our schedule permits, we can often offer same day service.

Our
Latest Column:
The
Nearly Extinct Formal Dining Room:
Why Your Dining Room is Worth Less Than You Thought
The
Formal Dining Room, as we know it, is on the decline... and nearing
extinction. It is used less frequently by the 60+ generation today
than it was in previous decades, and the 30-50+ generation uses
it far less frequently than their parent's generation. As a result,
the value of what is in the traditional formal dining room...
including the furniture, china & glass, and most accessories...
have declined dramatically in recent years. This article will
provide readers with the top 4 reasons why the value of their
dining room contents is probably worth far less today than it
was in previous years.
