What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate. This includes verifying the will, identifying and valuing assets, settling any debts or taxes, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries.

As part of this process, a professional valuation of the estate contents is often required. We provide the contents valuation part of this work for executors, individuals and solicitors.

Probate Contents Valuation Services

We specialise in providing clear, professional valuations of estate contents, including:

  • Antiques
  • Collectables
  • Furniture
  • Jewellery
  • General household contents

Our reports are suitable for use by solicitors, executors and estate administrators. In most cases, we visit the property to assess and record the contents in detail.

Maximising the Value of the Estate

Unlike many probate valuation services, we do not just assess value. We can also help realise it.

Through our professional auction services, valuable items can be sold to achieve the best possible market price. This can help increase the overall value of the estate and makes Unique Auctions a complete probate, valuation and auction solution.

Why a Probate Contents Valuation is Important

A probate contents valuation helps ensure that the estate is reported accurately. Professional valuation can help avoid delays, disputes and unnecessary complications during the probate process.

A probate contents valuation is not always necessary, so it is always worth confirming with your solicitor or adviser whether the service is required.

How the Process Works

  1. Initial consultation
  2. Property visit and contents assessment
  3. Detailed valuation report prepared
  4. Optional support with auction or clearance
  5. Ongoing support for executors and solicitors

Who We Work With

  • Executors
  • Families
  • Solicitors
  • Estate administrators

We understand the importance of discretion, sensitivity and clear communication throughout.

For larger or more complex estates, we can also travel nationwide.

Probate Clearance & Licensed Waste Services

In many probate cases, the property will also need to be cleared. We provide a complete, respectful clearance service alongside our valuation work, helping executors manage the entire process with one trusted provider.

Unique Auctions is a fully licensed Upper Tier Waste Carrier, ensuring that all items are handled, recycled or disposed of legally and responsibly. This protects executors from any potential liability associated with improper disposal.

Where appropriate, we also identify items suitable for auction, helping to maximise the value of the estate before clearance takes place.
