Estate Vehicle Valuation Services
In the administration of an estate, the “car in the garage” is often a source of significant uncertainty. Whether it is a late-model luxury SUV or a vintage Porsche, these assets require a level of valuation and preservation that generalist appraisers and “blue books” simply cannot provide.
We understand the fiduciary duties your firm manages. Our services are designed to provide the documentation and CRA-compliant valuation necessary for a smooth probate process. We offer:
- Prompt On-Site Inspections: Within Brantford, Paris, and the surrounding region.
- Preservation Protocol: Secure transport and climate-controlled storage to prevent asset degradation.
- Transparent Reporting: VIN-level decoding and market-comparable data for your files.
