We purchase full estates, provide avenues for auction or independent valuations.
One of the most difficult administrative jobs after a loved one has passed away, is managing their estate.
After property and investments, dividing the estate equitably can be challenging. Families wonder how to sell deceased estate jewellery and other items such as a coin collection, vintage accessories, 'old-world' furniture and other treasured items.
It can be increasingly difficult if family members disagree on the sentimental or financial value of the estate or how it should be equitably divided. Don't allow this process to be harder than it already is; let us to guide you through it.
Three Avenues for a Deceased Estate
Imperial Jewellery is a unique end-to-end service. We have highly skilled in-house valuation experts, and gemmologists providing offers to purchase, valuations and reports on your estate’s wealth.
There are three main options for deceased estates, all of which we can help you navigate:
1. Sell the full estate.
2. Divide the estate equally.
3. Auction the entire estate.
1. Sell the full estate
Quite often, a family will decide to sell a deceased estate in its entirety to ONE buyer - minimising the emotional stress of prolonged grief and any disagreements regarding value.
Because our valuation experts are in-house, whichever option you’re taking (sell, divide, auction) means you are dealing directly with specialists.
Our clients claim that having us as one point of contact to manage their estate has been helpful. Our purchase proposal may include:
– coins
