Probate
A Nevada inventory asks for a number against property, not a summary of it. We develop those numbers from completed sales and state the effective date, so the record still answers a beneficiary who questions it a year later. Antiques and artwork are handled through our Nevada antique and artwork appraisals.
Donations
Household goods given to a Nevada charity are valued in the condition they were handed over in, with comparable completed sales behind each conclusion and the reasoning written out where the donor has to show it.
Insurance
Jewelry, art and designer wardrobes are scheduled on what a comparable piece would cost to buy today. Those numbers sit well above what the same pieces would bring at resale, which is exactly why a schedule is written separately.
The same Nevada household can produce three different totals from the same rooms. Naming which one the assignment needs, before any pricing starts, is what keeps the report usable.
Fair market value
Probate, donations and most divorce work run on this basis. It rests on what comparable items actually sold for in an open market, and it is normally the lowest of the three figures a household will ever see.
Replacement value
Insurance scheduling asks a retail question instead, and the answer is usually far larger, because buying a comparable replacement carries a cost that a resale market never reflects.
Actual cash value
After a loss, a Nevada carrier settles on a depreciated figure. Knowing the gap between that and the scheduled amount before anything happens is what keeps the surprise out of a claim.
Two rules in the Nevada probate code decide who may put a figure on household property, and how finely that figure has to be broken out.
Household contents
$30,000
the belief about household furniture and furnishings that lets a Nevada representative file a record of value instead
Where the personal representative reasonably believes the household furniture and furnishings of the estate are worth less than $30,000, NRS 144.020 allows a verified record of value in place of an appraisement. Any interested person may still petition the court, and on a showing of good cause the court shall order the appraisement. Anything whose value is subject to reasonable doubt goes to a qualified and disinterested appraiser in the first place.
Line by line
$500
the value above which each Nevada item stands on its own line, in dollars and cents
Under NRS 144.030 an appraiser first certifies a willingness to appraise the property truly, honestly and impartially, and that certification is contained in the appraisal or filed with the court. Each item worth more than $500 is then set down separately, with its value in dollars and cents in figures opposite it. A single lump sum for the contents of a house does not meet that, which is why a Nevada estate valuation is built room by room.
What Nevada clients say we are known for

Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I used AppraiseItNow for the first time last month and I was extremely pleased with the results. I needed an appraisal done for insurance purposes and the level of detail about each of my antique furniture pieces was thorough and very helpful in my being able to get the highest amount possible from my insurance company for the antique items that were damaged. I could see that they spent time making sure that the information she included was correct and current for my antique furniture items in the current market. The team responded to my emails timely to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Appraise It Now to get a thorough and professional appraisal done on antique items. I do intend to use them again for other antique furniture and jewelry that I have. Job well done! 😃🤗
Antique Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Claim
It is a pleasure to work with Joe and his team. They communicate every step along the way and made the process simple for us to have more than 35 firearms appraised. It was all done in a timely manner and the final report is easy to understand. I highly recommend their services.
Gun Appraisal for Probate
I was skeptical at first, but the company exceeded all of my expectations. The team responded quickly to every question, and the service was excellent. They’re now my go to source for my collection. I’ve used them twice already, and I plan to use them several more times.
Firearms Appraisal for Personal Use
Joe made the process to have my piece of furniture appraised extremely easy, efficient and quick. My experience was great and I'd recommend AppraiseItNow to anyone looking for an appraisal.
Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!
Sports Memorabilia Appraisal for Charitable Donation
Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Not always. NRS 144.010 requires the personal representative to file an inventory and appraisement listing each asset's estimated value within 120 days after letters issue, but the requirement can be waived by unanimous written consent of all interested persons. When a wardrobe includes designer, vintage, or collectible pieces, a documented valuation protects the estate whether or not the filing is waived.
It depends on the purpose. Fair market value is the standard for IRS donations, estates, and probate; replacement value serves insurance scheduling; and actual cash value applies depreciation after a loss. The three can differ sharply for the same garments, so our reports name the standard they develop and match it to the assignment.
No. Value rests on designer identity, condition, rarity, fabric and craftsmanship, provenance, and actual resale demand, so provenance-backed or collectible garments must be analyzed separately from everyday clothing. Blending the two, or leaning on asking prices instead of what comparable pieces actually sold for, distorts the total in either direction.
Up to $12,000 in combined value. NRS 21.090 exempts necessary household goods, furnishings, electronics, and wearing apparel from execution up to that aggregate cap, selected by the debtor. High-value designer wardrobes and couture collections can exceed the cap, which makes a documented valuation the starting point for knowing what is actually protected.
Clothing is among the exempt personal property prioritized when a court sets apart up to $150,000 of an estate for the surviving spouse or minor children under NRS 146.050 and 146.070. Property set apart this way bypasses full administration, so garment and household values often determine what passes outside the ordinary probate process.
