What to document first
Use the worksheet room by room. Record what was found, what was photographed, where documents are stored, who needs to decide, and which items should pause for appraisal review.
The goal is not to appraise everything on the worksheet. It is to prevent accidental disposal of items that need documentation for sale, donation, estate settlement, insurance, or family distribution.
Value factors
Value depends on identification evidence, condition, completeness, intended use, timing, and the market where the property would realistically be sold or replaced. Keep confirmed facts separate from assumptions and preserve documents before moving objects.
No public market evidence are asserted here. Use verified sold records, specialist databases, and object-specific evidence before relying on any market range.
When to request an appraisal
Request a professional appraisal when the property may be insured, donated, sold, inherited, divided in an estate, or reported for tax purposes. Include photos and documentation so the appraiser can recommend the right level of review.
