The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsNebraska courts divide marital property under Nebraska Revised Statutes §42-366, which requires equitable distribution of assets identified, classified, and valued during proceedings. When spouses disagree on asset values or when complex holdings like business interests or equipment are involved, a professional divorce appraisal becomes essential for reaching a fair settlement or presenting defensible evidence in court. Nebraska's source of funds rule, established in Stava v. Stava, can also require retrospective valuations tied to the divorce date to trace marital contributions accurately.
AppraiseItNow serves clients through both remote and onsite appraisal options, accommodating assets across the state whether located in Omaha, Lincoln, or rural communities throughout the Platte Valley and beyond. Our appraisal services in Nebraska are designed to meet the evidentiary standards required by Nebraska courts, attorneys, and mediators.
AppraiseItNow covers the full range of assets commonly subject to division in Nebraska divorce proceedings, including:
AppraiseItNow works with divorcing spouses, family law attorneys, mediators, and courts across Nebraska who need accurate, court-admissible valuations of personal property, business interests, vehicles, equipment, and other marital assets. Clients range from individuals navigating contested proceedings in Douglas or Lancaster County to agricultural families in rural Nebraska managing complex asset divisions involving farm equipment, machinery, and business holdings.
What Nebraska clients say we are known for
Across 8 published Nebraska appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are how quickly we answer, that they would hire us again, and how fast the finished report arrived.
I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!
Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
My mother passed away in August 2023 and unfortunately, in the state of Ohio, motorhomes are not transferable on death and was going to have to go through probate court. After speaking with an attorney, I was informed I needed an appraisal. Due to my hectic work schedule and family schedule, I was looking for someone who could do this online, without needing an appointment. After a quick Google search I came across Joe at AppraiseItNow Inc., and instantly felt relief. A quick inquiry led to a few emails back and forth, a very reasonable cost to have the motorhome appraised and all the information needed to submit to get this taken care of. Joe was patient, worked with me as it was going to take a few weeks before I was able to supply the needed images/documents and payment, and less than a week later of submitting it I received the appraisal. His communication is next to none! He responds very quickly, is kind and extremely helpful. If I need anything in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out again! Thank you again! I will forever be in your debt!

Personal Property Appraisal for Estate Tax
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.

I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
Three steps under Neb. Rev. Stat. 42-365: classify each asset as marital or nonmarital, value the marital assets and liabilities, then divide the net marital estate. Valuation is a codified stage of the case rather than an optional extra, which is why Nebraska courts expect credible numbers for vehicles, collections, and business interests.
One rationally related to the property, chosen by the court. Nebraska does not fix valuation at filing or trial; appellate decisions require the date to fit the asset, which matters for volatile holdings like closely held businesses or collectibles. Property acquired after the divorce filing is separate and stays out of the estate.
Yes, if acquired during the marriage. Nebraska presumes all property accumulated by either spouse during the marriage is marital regardless of title, and the spouse claiming an item is separate carries the burden of tracing it to a premarital source, gift, or inheritance.
Yes. Neb. Rev. Stat. 42-366 lets spouses fix the disposition of their property in a written settlement agreement that binds the court unless found unconscionable. An agreed, well-supported appraisal often becomes the foundation for those negotiated values.
