FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Kentucky Fine Art Appraisals

Do you visit homes and estates across Kentucky for art appraisals?

Yes. We conduct on-site visits at homes, farms, galleries, and estates throughout Kentucky, including Louisville, Lexington, and the surrounding areas. For pieces with clear photographs and documentation, we can also complete the valuation remotely.

Can you appraise a collection for a Kentucky estate or probate proceeding?

Yes. We prepare USPAP-compliant appraisals for estate tax filings and probate matters, documenting fair market value in a format suitable for Kentucky probate court and IRS review.

How long does a fine art appraisal in Kentucky typically take?

Most single-piece and small-collection appraisals are completed within 2 to 3 weeks of our site visit or receipt of documentation. Larger estate collections and pieces requiring provenance research take longer. We provide a timeline before work begins.

What credentials do your appraisers hold?

Our appraisers hold credentials with leading organizations such as the ASA, ISA, and AAA, and every report is prepared in accordance with USPAP, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

Can I use your appraisal for insurance scheduling on a Kentucky policy?

Yes. We prepare appraisals specifically for insurance scheduling and coverage verification, documenting condition, provenance, and fair market value in a format insurance carriers recognize.

What do I need to provide to get a quote?

Start with clear photos of the piece (front, back, and any signatures), the artist name, medium, dimensions, and the purpose of the appraisal. If you have provenance documents or a prior appraisal, include those as well.
