Harrison Schley Appraisals, LLC provides our clients with accurate art and personal property appraisals for estate planing, tax filing, and equitable division.

We understand that appraising a significant estate is a complicated and timely process that may involve working with multiple appraisers for each category of personal property such as jewelry, fine art, decorative art, and specialists within each category.

 

Our firm streamlines the process for assessing personal property by working with our clients to determine their estate’s appraisal needs based on their collection and engage the appropriate specialist to value the estate’s property.

As a firm we understand that expertise and competence are the basis of quality appraisals and that no single appraiser can work in every possible market. Our network of experts includes specialists for every type of art and asset in order to appraise the entire estate for Federal Estate taxes, equitable division, charitable donation and our client’s other valuation needs.

Harrison Schley Appraisals, LLC does not broker or sell art to assure that our appraisals are independent of any market interest or influences. Our fees are structured on an hourly rate and are not contingent on the appraised value of the property. 

Please reach out for a consultation.
