Appraisal Hours: The time necessary for the Appraiser(s) to travel,
examine, evaluate, and value all items to be included in the Report.
The Report consists of a cover letter, an itemized list of the
property with values, the Appraiser(s) qualifications and
photographs of the appraised items as well as any limiting
qualifications.
Research Hours: The time necessary for the Appraiser(s) to identify
marks and labels, verify dates, consult other experts if necessary,
and evaluate the items to be included in the Report.
Verbal Consultation Hours: The time necessary for the Appraiser to
travel, examine, evaluate, and express an informed opinion in person
or on the telephone. A consultation is NOT an appraisal and is not
to be construed as such.
Expert Witness Hours: The time necessary to do the appraisal or
research for legal needs or actively waiting, or testifying in
defense of the appraiser's valuation conclusions. There is a
non-refundable $750.00 deposit required for preparation for expert
witness work that is applied to the total bill.
Estate appraisal reports have been designed to follow the guidelines
set forth by the I.R.C. Section 20.2031-1(b) for reporting personal
tangible property under Federal Estate Tax Return #706, Schedule F.
Donation appraisal reports have been designed to follow the
guidelines set forth by the I.R.C. Temporary Regulations Section
1.170A-1(c)(2) for reporting non-cash charitable contributions for
values in excess of $5,000.00. Donation appraisals must be completed
within 60 days prior to the date of contribution of the property and
must be received by the donor before the due date (including
extensions) of the return on which the deduction is first claimed.
