Family LawIt is important during the usually complicated period of divorce that you have as much information as possible to help your clients make decisions. In the event of a divorce, the appraisal your client will receive gives Fair Market Value so that an equitable division of property may be done as efficiently as possible. |
Estate SettlementWhen settling an estate, the appraisal you or your client will receive gives Fair Market Value for personal reasons (for example, questions of inheritance) and tax purposes). In the event that your client is attempting to write a will, he or she will have the information at their finger tips regarding how much each piece is worth. In this manner, they can more easily delegate who receives which piece(s) from their jewelry portfolio, based on their liquidation value. For tax purposes, your client will know the value of their jewelry, and may then compute the amount they must pay in taxes. |
