For Attorneys & Executors
Dig Appraisals works directly with estate attorneys, executors and fiduciaries to provide USPAP-compliant valuations of entertainment memorabilia, music archives, fine art and collectibles. Every appraisal meets IRS requirements for Form 706 estate tax filings.
We begin by understanding the full scope of the estate and the categories of items requiring appraisal.
Determining whether the appraisal is for estate tax, donation, equitable distribution, or insurance purposes guides our approach.
We assess where items are located and plan site visits or remote assessment accordingly.
Understanding relevant deadlines—whether for tax filings or probate—ensures timely delivery of appraisals.
Dig Appraisals is the preferred appraisal partner of Propstore. Collections that include entertainment memorabilia — whether acquired through Propstore or elsewhere — can engage Dig for independent, USPAP-compliant valuations required by the IRS for Estate Tax or Donation purposes.
