What to Expect When Probate Valuers Visit Your Property

When a loved one passes away, one of the important steps in the probate process is a visit from probate valuers to assess the estate’s assets. This visit helps determine the value of items within the property to comply with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) regulations and calculate inheritance tax (IHT) accurately. At FEAC Legal Probate Valuations, we understand this can be an emotional and complex time, so we aim to make the valuation visit as clear and straightforward as possible for executors, solicitors, and families across the UK and Scotland.

Purpose of the Probate Valuation Visit

The primary goal of the valuer’s visit is to inspect and document all relevant assets within the property. This includes furniture, antiques, jewellery, artwork, collectibles, and any other valuables that form part of the estate. The valuation is used to produce an official report that supports the probate application and tax filings.

What Happens During the Visit

1. Initial Introduction and Overview
   The valuer will introduce themselves, explain the process, and confirm the scope of the valuation. They may ask about specific items or areas of interest.
2. Comprehensive Inspection
   The valuer will systematically examine the property, room by room, noting the condition and details of all assets. They pay special attention to items that may have significant value.
3. Photographic Documentation
   Photos are taken of key assets to accompany the valuation report and provide clear evidence for HMRC and beneficiaries.
4. Questions and Clarifications
   The valuer may ask questions about provenance, previous valuations, or any unusual items. Executors or family members present can provide information to assist the valuation.
5. Duration
   Depending on the size and contents of the property, the visit can last from a couple of hours to a full day.

How to Prepare for the Probate Valuation Visit

• Organise and Declutter
  Tidying up and grouping valuable or similar items together can help valuers work efficiently.
• Gather Documentation
  Provide any receipts, certificates, or previous appraisals related to valuable assets.
• Ensure Access
  Make sure all rooms and storage areas are accessible for inspection.
• List Special Items
  Inform the valuer in advance of any items you believe are particularly valuable or unique.

Our valuers bring over 12 years of specialist experience and aim to conduct visits with professionalism, sensitivity, and thoroughness. We include an Asset Recovery Service to help identify and safeguard valuable items throughout the inspection.
