Why a valuation?

This is the most commonly-asked question of every valuer - particularly by people who have never actually suffered a loss due to theft or damage. Those who have lost goods and have struggled to regain even a small proportion of what they were actually worth understand all too readily the necessity of up-to-date valuations.

Probate
Stick-Back Windsor, High Wycombe C 1840-80Probate is a suspended state into which an estate can be put as a result of contention arising from the conditions of a will or from the lack of one.

To establish an accurate assessment of the possessions of a deceased's estate for taxation purposes, a valuation is essential. It is becoming increasingly more common that Probate Officers require independent, professional valuation of possessions, rather than a self assessment. Indeed, Probate has been rejected on occasions, until such a valuation has been supplied.

We provide a discreet, efficient valuation service for probate purposes, supplying certificates and schedules to prove the estate for administration purposes.
