Note: If you decide not to have an Estate Sale and choose instead to donate the estate’s contents, we advise you to have an estate appraisal done for tax purposes.

Make sure your appraiser adequately answer this question for you. “Are there any items I am contemplating the donation of, that have a hidden, but significant value?”

Make sure you check with your attorney, or accountant to see if you need to have a written pre-donation appraisal done for estate tax purposes.

If you decide to donate items from your estate before an Estate Sale, please check with your local Estate Sales Professional.

Many Items That You Think Should Be Donated, Have Actual Financial Value.

The sale of these items could enhance your sales revenues, and besides, there will be an oppourtunity to donate items from your estate post Estate sale.

Post Estate Sales Donations

Once the dust has settled, and your sale has been staged and conducted, you will find there are items left after your Estate Sale. Items too good to throw away, but generally not good enough to put into an auction.

These items are perfectly fine for you to donate.
