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:

1. Fair market value for distribution, insurance, replacement value or sale.
2. Documentation to support legal, tax, insurance or estate proceedings.
3. Confidence that you’re making informed, equitable decisions.
