A personal property appraiser expert witness may be able to work from photographs, inventories, receipts, purchase records, prior appraisals, insurance schedules, correspondence, and other reliable documentation when direct inspection is not possible. The appraiser should disclose the absence of a personal inspection, and the quality and completeness of the available evidence will affect whether the property can be reliably identified, characterized, and valued.
Condition can affect both the available market and the price buyers are willing to pay. Wear, damage, repairs, alterations, missing components, age, and prior use may therefore need to be compared with the condition of similar property used as market evidence.
The appraiser can organize the property into logical categories, document individual items or appropriate groups of similar items, identify assets requiring more detailed analysis, and apply relevant market evidence based on the characteristics of the property. This approach can make a large inventory easier to verify and reduce the risk of applying one valuation assumption to materially different types of property.
A retrospective appraisal estimates value as of a specified effective date in the past. The expert should consider available evidence of the property's condition and market information relevant to that date while avoiding inappropriate reliance on later developments or hindsight.
