To Prepare for your Appraisal:
- Decide which items you want to have appraised
- If there are items in the attic, closets, or garage, make sure they are accessible
- Unpack items in drawers, boxes, trunks
- Put things of like kind together
- Arrange china and glass by patterns
- Sort sterling from silverplate
- Gather receipts, sales slips, photographs, or earlier appraisals and place them with the appropriate items
- Move large pieces of furniture away from the wall
- If this is an estate appraisal and if there is a will, make sure that all items specifically bequeathed are available for inspection
