ASSET VALUATIONS FOR INSURANCE/PROBATE
Insurance valuations are so often overlooked until it is too late and a disaster strikes, theft, fire, loss and the lack of proof of value may prevent you from receiving the correct compensation. In some cases, this could amount to many thousands of pounds.
The importance of having a detailed catalogue of your valuables is literally worth its weight in gold!
Probate Valuations of Assets for Insurance and Inheritance Tax purposes are essential and a very important part of administering an estate.
