The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides certified divorce appraisal services for individuals, attorneys, and mediators navigating asset division under Utah's equitable distribution standard. Utah courts rely on accurate, current valuations to divide marital property fairly, and a USPAP-compliant appraisal is often required when spouses cannot agree on value or when a judge orders an independent assessment. Utah's volatile market conditions mean that timing matters, and an outdated valuation can result in an unfair buyout or settlement.
AppraiseItNow offers both remote and onsite appraisal options, making it easy to get a court-ready report regardless of where your assets are located. Our appraisers in Utah are experienced in producing documentation that meets the heightened scrutiny of legal proceedings across the state.
AppraiseItNow covers the full range of marital assets commonly subject to division in Utah divorce proceedings, including:
AppraiseItNow serves divorcing individuals, family law attorneys, mediators, and financial advisors throughout Utah who need credible, court-admissible valuations for marital asset division. Clients range from those dividing household personal property and vehicles to business owners and collectors requiring specialized appraisals for high-value or complex assets.
What Utah clients say we are known for
Across 9 published Utah 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
Very thorough and professional — great communication and outstanding service. Highly impressed with their work!
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!
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Probate
I recently used AppraiseItNow for a valuation of a 2001 Corvette needed for 2024 Gift Tax purposes. It was straightforward and relatively simple even for someone not too tech savvy like me!
Car Appraisal for Gift Tax
The estate appraisal for our car and rugs was handled quickly and efficiently. The process was smooth and hassle-free.
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.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
At the time of trial or the divorce decree, as a general rule. Utah judges may choose a different valuation date, but only with detailed findings explaining the deviation, which becomes important when a business, collection, or market shifts significantly between filing and trial.
Full financial disclosure. Both spouses must file a sworn Financial Declaration listing all assets and debts, and Utah courts look for supporting documentation such as a recent professional appraisal or tax valuation for assets being divided. Neutral third-party experts are routinely engaged when spouses dispute the value of significant personal property or business interests.
The working rule in Utah's own court guidance is to let each spouse set up a separate household; where the couple owns two of an item, each party receives one. Titled personal property bought during the marriage, such as cars and boats, is generally marital even when titled in only one spouse's name.
Yes. Under the equitable distribution framework codified in Utah Code Title 81, Chapter 4, LLCs, S corporations, partnerships, fractional interests, and privately held stock acquired or grown during the marriage are divisible, and business interests typically require formal valuation, particularly when the company grew during the marriage.
