Probate & Inheritance Tax Valuations of Chattels

Valuations for Inheritance Tax purposes, often called "probate valuations", are an important part of administering an estate.

Executors and solicitors are often required to commission an independent probate sale valuation of art, antiques, jewellery and personal effects in order to assess Inheritance Tax (IHT) liability with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

We regularly undertake probate valuations for solicitors, executors and beneficiaries. Our valuations of  jewellery, antiques and Inheritance Tax Valuations of Chattels are done in accordance with Section 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984.

Testimonial

“We were very grateful for all your help with the probate valuation and subsequent consideration in keeping us informed and advising us about the best course of action to take. From the very start, when you came to look over everything at the house in Ferring, we felt we were in safe hands. Obviously we were delighted and, quite frankly, astonished at some of the prices achieved at the different auctions. Thank you for all your help, expertise, and advice along the way.”

Maggie Gibson, London.
