Inheriting a collection.
You didn't collect this. Now it is yours to figure out: what is here, what it is worth, and what to do with it. Cove answers all three, and does the work.
First, know what you have.
A house of paintings and antiques. A safe of watches and jewelry. A storage unit, a cellar, a folder of old paperwork. It comes in exactly as it is, no sorting required. Every piece is identified, documented, and valued, so you learn which pieces matter most, and which do not.
The numbers an estate requires.
Settling an estate calls for values that hold up: date-of-death valuations for the estate tax return, qualified appraisals meeting IRS requirements, the step-up in basis recorded correctly. Cove's appraisals are prepared to USPAP standards, ready for the IRS, the courts, and every heir's attorney. Estate settlement appraisals
Keep, sell, give, or divide. Your decision, with real numbers.
Keep it, and it stays documented, correctly insured, and watched. Sell, on evidence rather than someone's word. Donate, with Form 8283 prepared properly. Divide it among family, with one number everyone can trust.
Cove lays out the options. The decisions stay yours.
