Probate Valuation Coulsdon

Defining Probate Valuation in Coulsdon

Applying for probate allows you to deal with the property, money and possessions of a person after their demise. Probate valuation in Coulsdon is necessary when applying for probate because it’s one way to determine the value of the assets belonging to the deceased. If the person left a will, then you’ll get a grant of probate. You are issued with a letter of administration if there’s no will.

Valuing house contents (otherwise referred to as goods and chattels) is a significant part of the probate valuation process. It is especially crucial for HMRC inheritance tax purposes. When it comes to Section 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984, Clearance Solutions comes in handy.

You get professional valuation services that involve establishing the assets’ monetary value. If the value of total assets exceeds the tax threshold of £325,000, then the estate is eligible for inheritance tax.

Importance of probate property valuation

Probate property valuation is essential in ensuring that you’re paying the correct inheritance tax amount. You should be able to acquire an accurate probate valuation report that’s in line with the HMRC guidelines.

When valuing a house for probate you should also be wary of valuing your loved ones’ assets too low since you can be suspected of fraud whereas overvaluing it could lead you to pay a higher inheritance tax amount.

Although property and financial assets make up a large part of the estate’s value, house contents also have a significant impact on the final value. With the expert house contents valuation from Clearance Solutions, you get an accurate figure to combine with the rest of the estate’s value.
