Frequently Asked Questions About the Assets We Appraise

Matching the Asset to the Appraiser

Can one report cover items from several different asset classes?

Yes. An estate or a business commonly holds furniture, art, vehicles, and equipment at once, and we handle all of it as one engagement: each asset class is valued by the specialist for that class and the results are delivered together. Where a business interest is part of the picture, its valuation is a separate analysis from the equipment and inventory it owns, and we make clear which report covers what.

What if my item does not fit any of the categories listed?

Tell us what it is and we will place it. The seven categories are the asset classes our specialists cover, and most unusual items sit inside one of them: a watch or wine collection is personal property, a food truck is a vehicle with equipment inside it, a franchise is a business interest. If something genuinely falls outside our coverage we say so when we quote, rather than assign it to the wrong specialist.

Where an Asset Belongs

Do collectibles like coins, stamps, and wine count as personal property?

Yes. Personal property covers jewelry, antiques, furniture, coins, collectibles, firearms, and household goods, and collections of almost any kind fall under it. Fine art is the exception: paintings, prints, sculpture, photography, and mixed media are appraised under art appraisal by art specialists, because the market data and the expertise are different.

Is a business valuation the same as an equipment appraisal?

No. A business valuation values an ownership interest, such as an LLC membership interest, S-corp or partnership shares, a fractional interest, or privately held stock, and has to state which rights are being valued and under which standard of value. An equipment appraisal values the physical machinery itself. A buyer, a lender, or a divorce court may need both, and the two are prepared by different specialists and reported separately.
