PES can conduct a personal property appraisal for any content within the estate. Prestige Estate Services specializes in appraisals for clients dealing with three major areas:

• Death – We work extensively with trust and fiduciary advisors who require appraisals of their client's contents left behind by the deceased. The intended use of this report could be for estate tax purposes, appropriate allocation of assets to heirs and beneficiaries, preparing for liquidation efforts, and working through probate requirements.
• Divorce – We collaborate with divorce attorneys and CPAs to determine the equitable division of property in a divorce.
• Downsizing – We assist clients who are moving or relocating partial or full estates. Often, it's more practical for them to donate or sell items rather than move them across the country. An appraisal can help determine value or a write-off for tax purposes.

Appraisal reports are frequently used in legal matters such as divorces, insurance settlements, probate, and charitable donations. It's crucial that appraisers employ the highest standards in their appraisal review. At Prestige Estate Services, all our appraisers comply with IRS guidelines and are qualified by the Appraisal Foundation’s “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” (USPAP).
