What Gorringe’s Values for Probate
Central to our probate valuation services is a detailed inventory and valuation that records all items of importance and any specific bequests.
Our specialists provide valuations for probate across a rich range of antiques, collectables and Fine Art. This includes valuation of entire, often complex estates and may include items across some or all of our Departments.
A Fast and Thorough Probate Service
Gorringe’s aims to attend probate or state valuations within 7-10 days.
While a thorough appraisal normally takes between 1-2 hours; for a much larger property, or a complex estate valuation, 1-2 days is the norm.
We always quote a competitive fixed fee in advance of any probate work you commission.
What a Probate Valuation by Gorringe’s Includes:
- We visit your property and list all items with a value in excess of £500.
- We record any items below this level but still of saleable value.
- We produce an abbreviated valuation, in line with section 160 of the 1984 Inheritance Act.
- We prepare a more detailed report for the executors.
We Provide HMRC Compatible Probate Documentation
Following our valuation, Gorringe’s supplies all related documents, including detailed inventories for lawyers and family members as well as papers required by HMRC.
Having these documents to hand makes dealing with any subsequent property division, sales and tax-related requirements far easier.
Complete Service Including Auction Sales
In the event of executors or beneficiaries wishing to dispose of some or all of the items involved in an estate, Gorringe’s provides a complete sales service. We will:
- Arrange collection of the pieces concerned and ensure their inclusion in the appropriate sale or sales.
- Advise on reserves, where this is necessary.
- Ensure a rapid settlement.
