GAA’s Legal / Wealth Management
Estate Appraisals:
GAA can provide you with the documentation required to meet IRS guidelines in the resolution of a decedents' estate, or to determine equitable distribution based on values.
Prenuptial/Divorce Appraisals:
These can be used to document the value and identification of jewelry owned by one or both parties in a prenuptial agreement, or to document current value of all jewelry held by one or both parties in dissolution. Having an independent third party provide this evaluation and valuation helps to remove some of the personal emotion.
Litigation Support:
If your client disagrees with the appraisal work performed by another appraiser, we can provide an independent evaluation and valuation of the jewelry in question. Additionally, we can provide you with a professional consultation regarding the accuracy and veracity of the opposing report. Expert testimony in deposition and/or court is available.
Liquidation Reports:
These are normally used during bankruptcy or liquidation of all business assets. We can go to the location of the jewelry, be it in a bank vault, individual’s home, or place of business to conduct my work. Additionally, if necessary, we can conduct my examination in your office or in the office of opposing counsel.
Collateral Appraisals:
Collateral appraisals are used when gems and/or jewelry is to be used in place of cash in a transaction. We will need to know the time limitation for property disposal.
Donation Reports:
These are currently required by the IRS only if the value of the donation(s) exceed $5,000. These reports will allow your client to claim the qualifying tax deduction with the IRS. We will also prepare the IRS form required to be submitted along with the Donation appraisal report.
