About Legacy Donation Appraisers

Legacy Donation Appraisers specializes in qualified appraisals of assets contributed as part of charitable planning and structured giving strategies. We work closely with high-net-worth individuals, business owners, family offices, registered investment advisors (RIAs), financial planners, CPAs, and attorneys to support the accurate reporting of significant non-cash contributions.

Our appraisals are prepared in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and are structured to satisfy IRS requirements for a Qualified Appraisal when applicable. For noncash charitable contributions that require formal substantiation, we routinely complete and sign Part IV (Appraiser Declaration) of IRS Form 8283, Section B.

We regularly support complex donation structures, including contributions to donor-advised funds (DAFs), private foundations, charitable remainder trusts (CRTs), charitable remainder unitrusts (CRUTs), and charitable gift annuities. These transactions often involve substantial or illiquid assets requiring careful fair market value analysis and defensible reporting.

Our appraisers hold respected professional designations such as ISA, ASA, and AAA, with subject-matter expertise across fine art, tangible personal property, business interests, inventory, machinery and equipment, vehicles, digital assets, and precious metals. Each engagement is handled with independence, documentation discipline, and attention to regulatory standards appropriate for high-value transfers.

Legacy Donation Appraisers is committed to delivering credible, well-supported fair market value opinions when compliance, accuracy, and professional standards matter most.
