What Is an Estate Appraisal?
An estate appraisal is a written valuation of personal property items within a home or estate. These appraisals are typically used for legal, financial, or sales purposes. In many cases, families or attorneys require a professional appraisal to:
Submit documentation to probate court
Divide assets fairly among beneficiaries
Establish pricing for an estate sale
Document the value of items for insurance purposes
Prepare for charitable donation or downsizing
Whether you need a full home appraisal or specific item valuations, JW Property Services provides reliable service with transparency and professionalism.
Items We Commonly Appraise
Our appraisal services cover a wide range of residential belongings and estate assets. These include:
Antiques and vintage furniture
Jewelry, coins, and precious metals
Art, collectibles, and rare books
Electronics and appliances
Clothing and designer accessories
Tools, equipment, and garage contents
Decorative items, china, and glassware
Home office furniture and supplies
Outdoor items, patio furniture, and sheds
Miscellaneous household items of potential resale value
No matter the size of the estate or the number of items involved, we offer professional, honest evaluations based on current resale trends and local buyer demand.
Our Appraisal Process
We follow a structured, step-by-step approach to ensure every appraisal is accurate, useful, and easy to understand.
1. Consultation
We begin by understanding your goals. Whether you're preparing for a legal process, an estate sale, or insurance documentation, your needs shape our approach. We explain what will be appraised, what format you'll receive, and how long the process will take.
2. On-Site Review
Our team visits the property (or conducts a virtual walkthrough if needed) to view and document items. We assess the condition, brand, maker’s marks, and any unique features. This step ensures we have a clear picture of the items involved before assigning any values.
3. Market-Based Valuation
Each item is researched based on its current fair market value — meaning what it would reasonably sell for in today’s resale market. We do not inflate prices for insurance or replacement estimates. Our appraisals are grounded in what buyers are actually paying in Oklahoma City and surrounding regions.
4. Appraisal Report
You’ll receive a written appraisal summary, which may include item descriptions, groupings (when appropriate), photographs, and total estimated values. This document can be shared with attorneys, real estate professionals, family members, or buyers.
Why Estate Appraisals Matter
Getting a proper valuation of estate contents protects you from undervaluing assets, overpricing unsellable items, or making decisions without accurate information. A clear, professionally prepared appraisal helps:
Prevent family disputes over value
Speed up probate court processing
Ensure items are priced fairly in estate sales
Support charitable deductions for donated goods
Justify insurance coverage or claims
Many clients also use appraisals simply for peace of mind, especially when distributing sentimental or valuable items among heirs.
