Fine Art Appraisal Services for Divorce & Legal Matters
When fine art is part of a divorce, legal settlement, or business dispute, its value must be clearly and fairly established. Courts and attorneys often rely on equitable distribution appraisals to determine how assets should be divided between parties. These appraisals are intended to reflect the fair market value of each item at the time of separation or dispute, providing the court with an unbiased, professional assessment.
For individuals and legal professionals alike, this process demands discretion, accuracy, and documentation that can withstand legal scrutiny. A proper appraisal not only clarifies the value of the artwork in question but also helps avoid unnecessary conflict, delays, or challenges in negotiation. Whether you’re working through mediation or preparing for litigation, having a clear valuation ensures that everyone is operating with the same facts.
