Attorney & Fiduciary FAQ
Which valuation date do you use?
The date your matter requires, typically the date of filing or a date set by agreement or court order. We confirm it with you at the start and state it in the report.
Can you appraise pieces the other party holds?
Yes, with access arranged through counsel. We come to the location, and when access is limited we work from photographs and documents and state the limits in the report.
Neutral or one-sided appraisal?
Either. A jointly engaged neutral often settles a dispute fastest. The report states who engaged the appraiser and why.
Can the jewelry be bought out?
Yes. If a spouse wants to sell, Jon buys privately and the appraisal supports the price. There is no obligation to sell.
Do you work directly with attorneys?
Yes. We work with divorce attorneys, mediators and CPAs, and with clients directly when that is easier. Reports and communication go through your office when you prefer.
