Professional Valuation For Probate Required By Inland Revenue For Chattels Worth £500 Or More Individually

July 1, 2012 By Avery Associates

Valuations For Probate By RICS Valuers

Inland Revenue advise that when valuing house contents or chattels for probate, it is, in most cases necessary to instruct a professional to carry out a detailed probate valuation of the chattels when it is believed that individual items exceed £500.

How Do I Value Household Articles And Furniture For Probate

The valuation of house contents for probate should be taken very seriouusly and without professional experience it is difficult to know what furniture and collectibles are worth and sometimes the smallest of items may well exceed a value of £500. It is therefore wise to be cautious and get a professional valuation carried especially if the estate is close to the Inheritance Tax threshold. But if it is very clear that the estate, in total is less than £250.000 it will not be necessary to get an accurate valuation.
