Edward M. Stanley Appraisal Services is dedicated to providing
its clients with quality appraisals of antiques, fine art and
residential contents. Our appraisal reports are professionally
researched legal documents completed to the highest possible
standards. The appraisals conform to the Uniform Standards of
Professional Practice (USPAP), the Codes of Ethics of the Appraisers
Association of America and the American Society of Appraisers,
and all Internal Revenue Service guidelines and regulations.
We offer appraisals for the following purposes:
Insurance
Many insurance policies require fine art, antiques, silver
and collectibles to be scheduled separately for complete coverage.
Our insurance appraisals will carefully itemize your fine
objects, noting their condition and Replacement Value in order
to arrange adequate insurance coverage.
Estates
We can provide a comprehensive appraisal report meeting all
IRS guidelines and regulations in order to ascertain estate
tax liability. An estate appraisal utilizes Fair Market Value
and may also be useful for estate planning and/or for property
distribution among heirs.
Donation
Donation appraisals must meet high standards for the Internal
Revenue Service.
Edward M. Stanley Appraisal Services can complete an appraisal
document fully complying with IRS guidelines and regulations
to determine the Fair Market Value of a charitable contribution
for subsequent tax deduction use.
Damage/Loss
Edward M. Stanley Appraisal Services can complete damage and
loss appraisals to determine the value of your damaged or
destroyed objects. We can appraise your damaged property to
ascertain loss in value and discuss condition issues, including
possible restoration or replacement solutions.
Property
Division
Edward M. Stanley Appraisal Services can provide impartial
appraisals to be used for equitable division of property in
a divorce or to ascertain equal shares of a joint asset.
