Probate valuations
needed to be simpler
Part of probate is putting a value on the deceased’s possessions for HMRC, from household contents to jewellery and cars.
For generations, inheritance tax fell on inherited wealth, much of it in art and antiques, and the old probate valuation system was built for that world. Most estates aren’t like that now. Families face inheritance tax because of property and investments, yet still go through a process designed for exceptional collections.
After twenty years as a valuer and auctioneer, I built Swift Values so any family can get a proper probate valuation quickly and easily.
