Probate, Community Property, Total Loss, and Donations: What AppraiseItNow Appraises in Nevada, From Estate Contents to Equipment and Businesses

AppraiseItNow appraises estate contents, closely held businesses, vehicles, boats, antique and contemporary art, and equipment for probate, divorce, total loss claims, Form 8283 donations, and lending in Nevada. A personal representative has 120 days after letters issue to file the inventory and appraisement, and may retain a qualified, disinterested appraiser for any asset whose value is in reasonable doubt, the role we fill for collections, equipment, and businesses. Nevada's estate tax is defined as the federal credit for state death taxes, a credit that no longer exists, so the same date-of-death report serves Form 706 and the heirs' basis. In a divorce, community property is divided equally to the extent practicable, so a neutral valuation of the vehicles, business, and collections is the starting point rather than the argument.

Most Nevada reports are completed online from photographs and documents you upload; onsite inspection is available statewide for restaurant and gaming-floor equipment, full-house estates, and art or memorabilia collections where condition and provenance drive value. Fees are fixed and quoted before work begins, and when the inventory deadline or a hearing is set we confirm up front whether we can meet it. We do not appraise real estate; for a home or commercial building we refer you to a state-licensed real estate appraiser.

    Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • My daughter had purchased a very collectible 2003 Mustang Cobra terminator just 3 months before her accident with 50,000 miles on it, for 30,000 dollars. We were experiencing some very heavy rains and she hydroplaned and smashed into a guard rail and totaled her car. The insurance company offered her $18,000, but we told them that was an insult to this car. We kept going round and round with them but they were not budging. Finally we googled an independent appraiser and found AppraiseItNow! Their appraised value was 26,462. They negotiated with the insurance for us and we ended up with 25,900. They were awesome and helped us get much closer to the appropriate value of the Cobra. Absolutely worth the price we paid. Highly recommended!

    Car Appraisal for Insurance Claim

  • AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼

    Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • I've dealt with several appraisers, and this was my first time using AppraiseItNow. They were by far the best. They did a great job. Their process was honest, efficient, and very detailed. Their staff was highly credentialed, and they provided IRS-compliant guidelines in their evaluation process, which was exactly what we were looking for. Their customer service also had prompt response times and was a pleasure to work with. If I need this service again, I won't go anywhere else.

    Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • My wife and I purchased a property that included a double-wide mobile home, which we decided to donate to a local charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. This type of donation required a formal appraisal to qualify for an IRS tax deduction, so we reached out to Appraise It Now. From the start, they were able to clearly answer all of our questions about both the appraisal process and the tax deduction requirements. We provided photos and additional details, and within 10 days we received a thorough, well-prepared report that included all the necessary IRS forms. I’m giving Appraise It Now a five-star review because communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and professional, and emails were always answered quickly. We were completely satisfied with the experience. Thank you!

    Mobile Home Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.

Nevada FAQ

Does every asset in a Nevada estate need a formal appraisal?

No. Where there is no reasonable doubt about value, such as cash, bank or credit union deposits, bonds, life insurance policies, and securities equal in value to cash, the personal representative files a verified record of value instead of an appraisement. An appraiser is retained for assets whose value is in reasonable doubt, which in practice means the contents, collections, vehicles, equipment, and business interests. The inventory and appraisement requirement itself can also be waived by the unanimous written consent of all interested persons.

Who owns what in a Nevada marriage?

Both spouses, equally, in community property. Nevada law gives each spouse a present, existing, and equal interest in community property during the marriage, and on divorce the court must, to the extent practicable, make an equal disposition of it unless it finds a compelling reason for an unequal one. The statute names no valuation date, so the date is set case by case; we value the vehicles, art, business, or collection to whatever date counsel or the court specifies.
