Professional Estate Tax Appraisers For Contents Of Home

Prestige Estate Services provides estate tax appraisals for estate contents, household furnishings, collections, art, antiques, jewelry, decorative objects, and other tangible personal property. We do not provide real estate appraisals, home-value estimates, land valuations, or property-tax assessments. Our work focuses on the personal property inside the estate that may require professional documentation for estate tax reporting, fiduciary administration, and IRS-related review.

An estate tax appraisal may be needed when executors, trustees, attorneys, or tax professionals require a credible value conclusion for personal property owned by a decedent. Our appraisers prepare USPAP-compliant reports with organized descriptions, appropriate photographs, market-supported analysis, and value conclusions developed for the relevant valuation date. This documentation can support Form 706 preparation, date-of-death valuation needs, estate settlement decisions, and clear records for fiduciaries and beneficiaries.

Every assignment begins with a review of the estate’s scope, location, contents, valuation date, reporting needs, and deadlines. From there, we determine the appropriate inspection and research process, whether the estate includes a full household, selected collections, or higher-value individual items. Prestige Estate Services is structured to manage complex estate tax appraisal assignments with professionalism, discretion, compliance awareness, and clear communication from intake through final report delivery.
