IRS Appraisals

USPAP-compliant, IRS-qualified appraisals that withstand scrutiny.

Estate attorneys, executors and fiduciaries rely on DIG Appraisals for IRS-qualified, USPAP-compliant valuations of non-cash assets — from guitars and film memorabilia to fine art and personal property. Helen Hall's appraisals meet the qualified appraiser requirements under IRC 170 and 2031 and are accepted by the IRS for Form 706 (estate tax) and Form 8283 (charitable contributions).

Our appraisals meet all IRS requirements for estate tax filings, non-cash charitable contributions, and other tax-related valuations. Every appraisal is conducted in accordance with USPAP standards and prepared by IRS-qualified appraisers.

Independence & Integrity

Our independence is fundamental to the credibility of every appraisal we produce. We maintain strict separation from any auction house or sales activity, ensuring that our valuations reflect fair market value — not promotional interest.

Transparent fees: Our fees are based on the scope and complexity of the appraisal, never on a percentage of the appraised value. This eliminates any conflict of interest.

USPAP compliance: Every appraisal follows the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the gold standard for the industry.
