What Is a Personal Property Appraisal
What is a personal property appraisal and do you need one?
If you're settling an estate, inheritance, planning a move, or just curious about your antiques, here's what an appraisal can (and can’t) do for you.
A personal property appraisal is more than a dollar figure — it’s a tool that brings clarity, protection, and peace of mind.
Whether you're managing a family estate, downsizing, or dividing heirlooms among siblings, an unbiased appraisal offers three major benefits:
-
Fair market value for distribution, insurance, replacement value or sale.
-
Documentation to support legal, tax, insurance or estate proceedings.
-
Confidence that you’re making informed, equitable decisions.
As a certified appraiser of personal property, I approach each item with care and professionalism — understanding both market value and emotional value. From fine antiques to family collections, our appraisals are USPAP-compliant, clearly documented, and tailored to your needs.
