Personal Property Appraisals

For individuals, family-law attorneys, and mediators

Personal property appraisals for divorce and equitable distribution.

When household contents, art, jewelry, furniture, rugs, collections, or other personal property must be considered, an independent appraisal can provide the parties and their advisors with a documented opinion of value. Prime establishes the assignment scope before inspection and research begin.

Scope the included property and intended use before the appraisal begins.

Set the assignment scope around the question to be answered.

The appraisal may address an entire household, selected rooms, specific categories, or individual objects. Before work begins, Prime discusses the intended use and users, effective date, value definition, included property, access, and report requirements with the authorized client or professional representative.

  • Fine art, jewelry, and watches.
  • Antiques and furniture.
  • Silver, rugs, and textiles.
  • Crystal, porcelain, and decorative objects.
  • Collectibles, household furnishings, and selected collections.

A documented opinion can support an informed process.

The appraisal report documents the property included and the basis for the opinion of value within the agreed assignment. It does not decide how property should be divided, resolve a legal dispute, or guarantee what the property will sell for.

Start With A Clear First Conversation.

Share the property or assignment, the people involved, the timing, and the decision you need to make. Prime will review the situation before recommending a scope.
