At RH Chillingworth Estate Services every engagement is guided through our Estate Advisory - a thoughtful private approach designed to support families and fiduciaries through life's most significant transitions.
The services that follow reflect how this advisory is applied, individually or in concert, to provide clarity, discretion and steady leadership across every stage of an estate.
Appraisals
Delivered through Royal Heir Appraisals, our certified appraisal division
At RH Chillingworth, our professional appraisal services provide accurate valuations of antiques, decorative arts and personal property. Whether you're settling an estate, insuring assets, or planning for equitable distribution, our documentation adheres to USPAP standards and is prepared with the utmost care, discretion, and respect for your belongings.
Private Curated Disposition
When appropriate, RH Chillingworth Estate Services advises and oversees traditional estate liquidation with an emphasis on discretion, security, and trust. These engagements are never treated as casual or open-access events, but as carefully managed transitions guided by experience and respect.
Each estate is evaluated individually, with thoughtful consideration given to privacy, safety, and the wishes of the family. When a sale or disposition is advised, it is conducted in a controlled and dignified manner, often by appointment or limited access to protect both the home and its contents.
Our role is not simply to manage a process, but to guide it with care ensuring outcomes that are appropriate, respectful, and aligned with the legacy of the estate.
Lifestyle Transition & Private Downsizing
Transitions should be approached thoughtfully without urgency and with quiet confidence.
We understand that relocating or redefining one’s living environment is far more than a logistical decision. It is a deeply personal passage that deserves steadiness, discretion and experienced guidance.
At RH Chillingworth Estate Services, we walk alongside individuals and families to ensure that each step forward is met with clarity rather than overwhelm.
From intentional planning and thoughtful sorting to coordinating the many details that accompany a move, our involvement remains measured and supportive throughout the process.
Every transition unfolds at its own natural pace. We honor personal history, family dynamics, and the emotional landscape that often accompanies change allowing our clients to move forward feeling prepared, respected, and at ease.
Intergrated Private Client Support
In support of our core estate services, select supporting services may be applied to ensure each transition is handled with clarity, continuity, and care. These elements are integrated thoughtfully never automatically, to preserve what matters most while maintaining discretion and efficiency.
Residential Preparation & Organization
We bring order and calm through thoughtful preparation, restoring clarity and functionality so each space feels purposeful and ready for what comes next.
Estate Documentation & Visual Inventory
Discreet, professionally executed documentation captures the home and its contents with accuracy and care — supporting informed decision-making while preserving a visual record for families and advisors.
Presentation & Market Readiness
When appropriate, tailored presentation strategies are implemented to highlight a home’s strengths while honoring its character, ensuring it is positioned with dignity and intention.
