Everyone understands the importance of having and managing their financial portfolio. But few realize the equal importance of knowing the value of their POSSESSION PORTFOLIO. You (or your clients) spent a lifetime collecting fine art, exquisite antiques and other prized valuables such as silver, china, crystal, even wine. What is it all worth? More importantly, were they to be lost in a natural disaster, fire or stolen, would you be able to recover the retail replacement value for them? Also, shouldn't your estate plan ensure equitable division of assets for heirs? What about the painful challenge of asset division in the event of a divorce? What should you do to protect the valuable personal property portfolio you spent a lifetime spent building? ESC Appraisals KNOWS. And, we resolve that uncertainty and answer the questions regarding the value of your personal assets by providing accurate, thorough and extensively written appraisals. These Reports are professionally qualified and adhere to the strict guidelines of USPAP (the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) which is the Congressionally-recognized set of appraisal standards. ESC Appraisals reports are accepted by insurance companies, by courts and legal proceedings and the IRS as documented evidence of value. In situations where you really do not need or require a formal, qualified appraisal. ESC offers a service called a Professional Opinion of Value, or a POV Report. A POV is a valuation service that gives you the information and knowledge you need to make better informed decisions regarding your personal property. This is ideal when faced with a loved one who passes and leaves behind a home full of assets or when downsizing from a larger to a smaller home. Finally, ESC is an experienced Expert Witness consultant for the legal profession when personal asset valuation is part of a legal dispute. What's it worth? ESC KNOWS!!
