Probate Valuations

 

Why would I need a jewellery valuation for probate?

Especially at a time of great sadness

 

This becomes necessary when someone dies and a value of that person’s estate is needed for the probate application, and the executor needs to provide evidence of values.

 

In this case it is important to understand that there are different levels of value when it comes to jewellery –

 

The first is the current retail value that is recorded when completing an insurance report. so that the possessions that you may have lost or have been stolen can be replaced.

 

The next as is appropriate in probate is the value your jewellery would achieve when sold on the open market – for instance at an auction or may be sold to a jewellers for second-hand sale.
