Attorney & Fiduciary FAQ
What is replacement value?
The cost to replace an item with one of like kind and quality at current retail. It is the standard most scheduled coverage uses, and it differs from fair market value.
How often should jewelry be reappraised?
Gold and diamond prices move, so a review every few years keeps coverage in line. Check your carrier requirements for the exact interval.
Can you appraise after a loss?
Yes, if prior reports, photographs or receipts exist. We work from that documentation, and the result depends on how complete it is.
Will carriers accept your reports?
Most carriers accept a written appraisal from a credentialed appraiser. Confirm your carrier requirements and we will format the report accordingly.
Do you work directly with agents and adjusters?
Yes. We work with agents, brokers and adjusters, and with clients directly when that is easier. Reports and communication go through your office when you prefer.
