Partner with Banziger Hulme for a clear and reliable estimation of the fair market value of works of art you own, want to sell, or purchase.
Valuations for Probate
With an inheritance or family division of artworks comes the task of not only to sort through, but also deciding how they are shared amongst beneficiaries of an estate.
Inherited collections can come with a great deal of sentimental value, but often the monetary value needs to be determined by a professional art valuer to ensure a fair distribution.
