Insurance Appraisals: Are your valuable items protected under your insurance policy?  Many umbrella policies have exclusions for fine art, antiques, silver and collectibles, and will only cover these items if they are scheduled separately.  Our insurance appraisals will list these items as well as their condition and value,  enabling you to avoid complications with the insurance company should anything unexpected happen in the future. 

Estate Appraisals: After the passing of a loved one, the furthest thing from one’s mind is the IRS.  We can ease this process by providing a comprehensive appraisal that meets IRS guidelines.  Appraisal Services Associates will help you through every step of this process at this most difficult time. 

Donation Appraisals: Due to recent tax reforms, donation appraisals are now held to much higher standards than in past years.  Appraisal Services Associates will ensure that your good deed earns you the tax deduction you deserve.

Damage/Loss Claims: Has your property been damaged or broken?  Small floods, fires, and accidents can occur at any time.  Appraisal Services Associates will examine your damaged property, discuss its condition and possible solutions (replacement, restoration, etc.) to correct the problem as efficiently as possible.

Matrimonial Appraisals: Often during divorce proceedings, the opposing parties find it hard to agree on how to divide the property.  Our impartial appraisals ensure fair division of property between the parties. 

All our appraisals are held to the highest possible standards. Our appraisals conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the Code of Ethics of the American Society of Appraisers, the Code of Ethics of the Appraisers Association of America, and IRS guidelines.

Bankruptcy Appraisals: Appraisal Services Associates can value your assets for both filing bankruptcy papers as well as liquidating your personal property if necessary.

Appraisal Services Associates is dedicated to providing our clients with the appropriate type of appraisal to meet their needs:

Salvage: Stemming from our specialization in damage/loss claims, Appraisal Services Associates can help facilitate the sale of fine art, antiques, residential contents and other personal items that might not normally sell at retail or auction due to condition problems.  These properties are usually restorable, and, therefore, have salvage value.  Appraisal Services Associates will provide images of the damaged items, their cataloging, a comprehensive condition report describing the damage to the pieces and appraise or sell the works as appropriate.
