Estate Appraisals
Estate Appraisals & Trust Appraiser Services can be used to distribute property by inheritance or gift, or for charitable donation, estate planning, art collection management, or estate tax purposes.
Estate Appraisals and Trust Appraisals are an important part of Estate Planning. Collection Management Appraisals document your valuable items, and also establish a basis value in advance of a possible change in ownership. Fair Market Value is the value used, which is the value in the most appropriate auction or similar market.
Donation Appraisals
Charitable Donations are an important part of Financial Planning. We are pleased to consult with you and your financial advisors about your planned charitable donation. Charitable Donation Appraisals use Fair Market Value as defined by the IRS.
Alice Karle Appraisals, is an IRS Qualified and USPAP Accredited Appraiser for Charitable Donation.
Non-Cash Charitable Donation Appraisals may be subject to IRS committee review. The appraiser must sign the IRS Donation Form 8283, be IRS qualified and follow all requirements of the IRS and USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) in the written Appraisal Report.
We are experts in Non-Cash Charitable Donation, having performed appraisals in the multiple millions, as well as appraisals for more modest donations.
Insurance Appraisals
Insurance appraiser services are for coverage against loss or damage. Appraisal values are for replacement purposes and are closest to those in the retail market.
Especially in California, with mass losses from fire, an itemized appraisal can expedite the processing of your claim. Many insurance policies compensate for loss of individually valued items, and not the total coverage limit on your policy.
Consultation
Consultation is an economical way to decide where to go next if you are not sure of the value of your property.
Appraisal results are given in a verbal evaluation, also known as a Limited Appraisals. In a Limited Appraisals a written or emailed report is not provided, but the Client is encouraged to take notes. All appraisal notes and research are archived on our servers, so they will be on hand in case other appraiser services are required at a later time. The purpose of Limited Appraisals is to provide information about value to the Client for their own personal use. Limited Appraisals are not intended for others to rely on.
Reasons for consultation are: for your own general knowledge, distributing property of limited value, evaluating property for sale, or determining if a written Appraisal Report is needed. That being said, many valuable items have been discovered during consultations.
For example, the Creede Banknote selling for $87,000 plus auction premium, was discovered during a consultation.
