NADEAU'S APPRAISALS & ADVISORY

ESTATE PROBATE, TAXATION, AND PLANNING APPRAISALS

We provide estate appraisals for probate, estate taxation, estate planning, and family equitable division. Our estate appraisals are based upon Fair Market Values and comply with the standards and guidelines put forth by USPAP, The Appraisal Standards Board by The Appraisal Foundation, and the Internal Revenue Service.

INSURANCE APPRAISALS

Based upon a full Retail Replacement Value (“the amount it would cost to replace an item with one of similar and like quality purchased in the most appropriate marketplace within a limited amount of time") In order to protect your property from loss by fire, theft, and damage an insurance appraisal is necessary. Our appraisal will provide your insurance carrier with a full and accurate catalogue description and photographs of your personal property. This facilitates claim settlements by providing detailed inventories and itemized replacement costs.

CHARITABLE DONATION APPRAISALS

When donating property that exceeds $5,000, it is required by the Internal Revenue Service to submit a professional appraisal summary with your tax return. We will prepare a precise and comprehensive report that will ensure that you, as the donor, will receive a full tax deduction from the IRS.

VIRTUAL INSPECTIONS AND WALK THROUGHS

In today's world many people are opting for virtual inspections. Depending on the value and amount of items you have we are happy to discuss if this would be of benefit to you.

​

Do you need a certified expert to walk through your home or an estate you are handling to confirm that you're not disposing of something you shouldn't be? Don't make the mistake of throwing out a $200,000.00 painting, (yes this actually happened to a client, and Nadeau's Appraisals saved it from the trash pile!)
