Valuations for Probate

When administering an estate, an accurate probate valuation is essential for HMRC and legal purposes. Bosvena Auctions provides professional valuations that are accepted by solicitors, executors, and HM Revenue & Customs.

What Is a Probate Valuation?

A probate valuation establishes the market value of personal possessions at the date of death. This is required for Inheritance Tax calculations and the Grant of Probate application.

Our Probate Service Includes

  • On-site visit to the property
  • Detailed inventory of all items
  • Individual valuations based on current market rates
  • Formal written report for HMRC submission
  • Advice on items suitable for auction sale
  • Sensitive and discreet handling at all times

We understand this can be a difficult time. Our team works with care and compassion, providing a thorough and professional service throughout.
