Settling an estate is about more than just the real estate—it is about the thousands of items on the property. Whether you are an executor, a trust attorney, or a family member, you need a precise, defensible inventory of the personal assets to ensure equitable distribution and meet legal requirements.
LEMCO Consulting specializes in Personal Property Appraisals for estates across Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, and Nevada.
While a real estate appraiser values the land and structures, they are rarely qualified to value the contents. We fill that gap. We provide a line-by-line valuation of the tangible assets—from heavy machinery and vehicles to firearm collections and household goods.
We provide the documentation you need for:
Probate & Court Compliance: Detailed reports that meet the “Date of Death” valuation standards required by probate courts and the IRS.
Equitable Distribution: accurate values that allow heirs to divide assets fairly and prevent family disputes.
Trust Management: assisting trustees in maintaining accurate asset records for long-term planning.
Most general appraisers rely on depreciation tables or “book values” that are often outdated. At LEMCO, we are active participants in the liquidation and auction market. We know exactly what items are selling for right now.
We analyze financial performance, market position, and intangible assets to determine the fair market value of your operating business. Ideal for exit planning, partnership buyouts, and operational assessments.
Comprehensive property valuations for ranch, commercial, and residential real estate. We account for land value, improvements, and income-generating potential in your specific regional market.
Detailed asset lists and condition reports for construction equipment, farm machinery, industrial fleets, and business inventory. Essential for insurance, collateral, estate planning, or liquidation strategy.
We start with a confidential discussion to understand your specific needs, timeline, and the scope of assets involved.
Our team conducts a thorough on-site inspection and market data analysis to ensure every factor affecting value is documented.
We deliver a comprehensive, defensible valuation report and, if needed, a strategic plan for asset disposition or sale.
