The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides certified probate appraisal services throughout New Mexico, helping executors and personal representatives meet the state's three-month inventory deadline under the Uniform Probate Code (Chapter 45 NMSA). For larger estates, appraisals support IRS Form 706 filings when gross estate values exceed the federal threshold. Even for non-taxable estates, New Mexico courts require defensible valuations to administer assets and protect heirs from future capital gains exposure.
Both remote and onsite appraisal options are available, so clients across the state can get started quickly regardless of asset location. Our appraisers in New Mexico are experienced with the documentation standards required by probate courts and the IRS.
We cover the full range of assets commonly found in New Mexico estates, including:
We work with executors, personal representatives, probate attorneys, and heirs across New Mexico who need accurate, court-ready valuations for estate administration, asset distribution, and tax compliance.
What New Mexico clients say we are known for
Across 8 published New Mexico 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.
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!

Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
Yes, in two situations. A successor may collect personal property by affidavit when the entire estate is $50,000 or less, contains no real property, and 30 days have passed since death under Section 45-3-1201. Separately, untitled items such as furniture, jewelry, and artwork pass without probate regardless of value; only titled property like vehicles and accounts requires it.
Within three months of the personal representative's appointment under Section 45-3-706, listing each item with its estimated date-of-death value and any encumbrances. Filing with the court is optional, but the representative must send copies to interested persons who request them.
Up to $15,000 in household furniture, automobiles, furnishings, appliances, and personal effects under Section 45-2-403, in excess of any security interests. Appraisals help identify which items satisfy the allowance and at what values before the rest of the estate is distributed.
Whenever an asset's value is subject to reasonable doubt. Section 45-3-707 permits employing a qualified and disinterested appraiser without a court appointment, which is the usual route for business interests, art, jewelry, and specialized equipment.
