The
appraisal process consists of:

Inspection of the property to be appraised
Research
Property identification (Identify relevant
market and analyze collected data)
Estimation of Value
Writing the report
Appraisal reports are legal documents. The
appraiser has an obligation to provide “due diligence”
when appraising an item. The appraiser is also responsible for the
contents of the report in a court of law for a minimum of five years,
and longer if there is ongoing litigation. An accurate and professional
report is worth paying a qualified appraiser - if for no other reason
than peace of mind that your valuables are protected, your heirs are
provided for, and all requirements are met for the IRS.
