Common Questions About Appraisals

The appraisal report will provide the Fair Market Value (FMV) of your personal property. It will help in case your personal property is damaged by a hurricane, heavy winds, or tornado or if the personal property was stolen or damaged by others.

We are able to upload your appraisal report to a secured cloud account where it can be accessed anytime. Especially in the case that your report is damaged, lost or stolen. 

What is the Fair Market Value (FMV) ? Definition of Fair Market Value is set forth in the Treasury Regulation 20.2031-1, which states that: “Fair market value (FMV), is the price that property would sell for on the open market.  It is the price that would be agreed on between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with neither being required to act, nor both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.  If you put a restriction on the use of property you donate, the FMV must reflect that restriction.” 

The appraisal report for personal property can be used for your Estate Planning for estate inheritance.
