Probate

At Jewellery Advisory Services (JAS), we specialise in expert probate jewellery valuations, providing a vital service for accurate estate administration and full legal compliance.

Our comprehensive reports are meticulously prepared to establish the fair market value of jewellery and related items, adhering strictly to Section 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984. This ensures that values are accurate as of the deceased’s date of death, reflecting the price an item would achieve in an unbiased, open market transaction.

The significance of determining this fair market value cannot be overstated, as it forms the basis for calculating inheritance tax obligations and ensuring that the estate is managed in line with HMRC requirements. By reflecting true market conditions, our probate valuations provide executors, solicitors, and beneficiaries with clear, reliable insights to facilitate smoother estate settlements and informed decision-making.

With JAS, clients can rely on our thorough, precise, and expertly informed approach. To assist our clients further, our probate reports are Civil Procedure Rules (CPR)-compliant, ensuring they are suitable for any legal proceedings and provide the necessary transparency and compliance for every stage of the probate process.
