Appraisals

 Trusts, Estates and Appraisals Services offers advice regarding personal property assets to trusts, estates, and private clients in order to help fiduciaries, executors, advisors, and collectors meet their goals.

We provide efficient and confidential advice and assistance for all appraisal and auction services, primarily focused on:
 

• appraisals
• auction estimates
• communicating with Trust and Estate clients while their property is being offered for sale.

Depending on the location of the property, Vickers & Hoad  will offer an initial walk-through or a preliminary review of property listings and photographs (if available), in order to determine the scope of the collection and to identify the appropriate staff to work with you. We will then conduct the appraisal or arrive at auction estimates, utilizing the expertise of our generalists and specialists in relevant categories.

Appraisals

Vickers & Hoad  can prepare appraisals to suit a variety of needs, including:
 

• estate tax and estate planning
• insurance
• charitable contribution
• collateral loan purposes

A completed appraisal will include detailed property descriptions and itemized values in a bound document with an affidavit and summary page. Vickers & Hoad  appraisals are widely accepted, tax and estate planning professionals, and insurance firms.

The appraisal fee is based on the volume and nature of the property, as well as the amount of time and number of specialists required. Vickers & Hoad  will refund the fee pro rata should you consign any of the property to us for sale.

Auction Estimates
In the event that a sale is considered, we would be pleased to provide auction estimates, an in-depth proposal for sale, and a comprehensive marketing plan, depending upon the property's value.
