The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides probate appraisal services for Oregon estates, delivering court-ready valuations that satisfy the requirements of ORS Chapter 113 and support federal estate tax filings via IRS Form 706 for estates exceeding the federal exemption threshold. Under ORS 113.165, personal representatives must file an inventory within 60 days of appointment, reflecting true cash value as of the date of death. For personal effects exceeding $3,000 in artistic or intrinsic value, Oregon law requires a sworn expert appraisal filed alongside the inventory.
Both remote and onsite appraisals are available, so executors and attorneys can access accurate valuations regardless of where assets are located. Our appraisal services in Oregon cover the full state, from Portland and Salem to Bend, Eugene, and beyond.
AppraiseItNow covers the major asset classes that appear in Oregon probate proceedings, including:
AppraiseItNow works with Oregon executors, personal representatives, probate attorneys, and heirs who need qualified, disinterested appraisals to satisfy ORS 113.185 requirements and support estate administration. We also assist families navigating estates with high-value personal property, collections, vehicles, or equipment that require expert valuation before court filing or distribution.
What Oregon clients say we are known for
Across 8 published Oregon 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.
AppraiseItNow was amazing! My father passed with a large volume of artwork & I had no idea what it was worth. Their team was incredibly helpful and quick to respond with text and/or email to any questions as well as a status update along the way. Highly recommend!
Artwork Appraisal for Probate
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
Within 90 days of the personal representative's appointment, under ORS 113.165. The inventory shows estimated fair market values as of the date of death and is filed in the circuit court handling the estate; property discovered later requires a supplemental inventory within 30 days.
No. ORS 113.185 lets the personal representative employ a qualified and disinterested appraiser for property whose value is subject to reasonable doubt, and allows the court to order appraisals by court-appointed appraisers. Any appraisal must be written and signed, with the appraiser paid a reasonable fee from the estate.
No, and this catches people out. ORS 114.515 counts the full fair market value of each interest without subtracting liens or debts, so a $20,000 vehicle with a $15,000 loan still counts $20,000 toward the $75,000 personal property cap. The affidavit is available only when the whole estate is $275,000 or less.
Not for personal property. Oregon's registration requirement (ORS 308.231) applies to real property appraisal; the probate statute asks only for a qualified and disinterested appraiser. What carries weight is subject-matter expertise and a signed, well-supported report the court and the Department of Revenue can rely on.
