We provide comprehensive, IRS-compliant appraisals for estate tax filing. The IRS has specific requirements of both the appraiser, and the reports submitted for review, that we are well-equipped to meet. Objects exceeding a fair market value (FMV) of $50,000 are automatically reviewed by industry-leaders on the IRS Art Advisory Panel, with whom we work closely.
