Our services being delivered as an impartial third party can help to eliminate many disputes which may arise from differences of opinions amongst the parties as to valuations of the objects of personal property. Weather this be for the equitable distribution of personal property from the reading of a will or the unfortunate parting of ways after a divorce decree. There are times when sentiment gets in the way of reality in valuing personal property.  That is when an professional appraiser can help to bring a file to a more amicable settlement..  Probate appraisal reports can be done for the attorneys, spouses, trusts, banks, the heirs and/or members of the family. Mr. Hall having conducted numerous estate sales over the years is duly qualified to assign a fair market value to household furnishings, as well as all personal contents.

Our experience in appraising personal property enables us to appraise items from a simple upholstered sofa to a 19th century painting using due diligence to arrive at a proper fair market value for such. No other experts need to be called in for a probate appraisal for the personal property when you call Hall & Hall Appraisers, Inc. with the exception for the appraising of fine jewelry.

Hall & Hall Appraisers, Inc. have also done appraisal reports with the intended use for their clients to obtain insurance on specific items of value that they own.   At times we have been asked to assist our customers during a dispute with their insurance company as to the proper valuation of an item(s) of personal property when a damage claim has been filed. 

 

Tax Appeals:  Tangible Personal Property

Our firm has helped many local businesses to have their tangible personal property assessment lowered.

 

Pre-Loss Inventories: Fire / water damage /
hurricane preparedness / hurricane / windstorm

Most homeowners as well as many business owners do NOT have a detailed inventory of the contents of their home and / or business.  This is a necessary item in order to make sure they have the correct amount of coverage in their insurance policy.  This inventory is also very helpful in the event of a loss in the home/business such as a fire, water loss, theft/vandalism or windstorm.  An appraisal report done by an independent third party makes it much easier to settle an insurance claim. This process can help to prevent a natural catastrophe from becoming your personal financial disaster.

Hall & Hall has provided these appraisal services for 40 years.  We provide you with a computer generated document detailing the personal property items in your home/business.  Included with this report are digital images. Depending on the clients requests these can be provided in a variety of different ways.
