Scottsdale Estate Jewelry Appraisals
Equitable Distribution, Probate, Estate Settlement 

An estate jewelry appraisal takes place when a family member passes away
Normally, the  jewelry items are divided among family  (Equitable Distribution) 
At times, the items may be subject to to taxing, according to state and federal regulations
The two main types of appraisals in this case are listed below. A Probate appraisal in many cases
can also be used for equitable distribution purposes
  


Estate (Probate) Appraisals

This report is for estate evaluation purposes and is necessary to determine inheritance taxes on an estate. Jewelry 
values for estates are legislated to include specific information and data. Fair market value is used for this type of 
valuation and it is always necessary to include comparable sales.

Equitable Distribution
 Determines value of the piece so that collectively the jewelry
can be divided equally to family members/friends. These appraisals can be done
before or after the passing of the owners.
Usually a fair market value is used ( less than normal retail )

These appraisals are best done on an hourly fee. Each item is photographed , a brief description is provided,  and the fair market value is listed.
