Appraisals and Gemological Services

Services for Legal & Tax Professionals

Estate Appraisals: Jordans can provide you with fair market appraisal reports for estate evaluation purposes and determination of inheritance taxes on an estate. We 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.

Appraisals for Prenuptial & Marriage Dissolution: For your clients working through a dissolution of property, bankruptcy proceedings or prenuptial agreements, Jordans can provide fair market value reports for an equal division of common property.

Collateral Appraisals: Collateral appraisals are used when gemstones and/or jewelry are to be used in place of cash in a transaction. If you are assisting in the establishment of values for loan collateral that involves loose gemstones or jewelry, Jordans can help determine the values of the property.

Donation Reporting: Jordans provides donation reports based on Federal guidelines which are necessary for tax deductions of donated items.

Divorce: We document the value and identification of jewelry items owned by either or both parties for settlement purposes in marriage dissolution. We provide an independent opinion of value in contested matters that assist in the resolution of differences.

Equitable Distribution: Valuation of jewelry for equitable distribution may also be necessary for heirs to an estate or liquidation of business assets. Our value opinions rely on the analysis of sales in the market, which are facts that support a value conclusion in litigation.
