KC Appraisals

About this Appraiser

KC Appraisals is an independent jewellery appraisal lab in Southern Ontario serving the Guelph, Hamilton and Kitchener areas. They specialize in helping people through the tough time of settling an estate, which is going through probate. Ontario law states that all values claimed for probate must be backed up by documentation. They will provide you with a bound document containing not only a full detailed description of each item but a compiled listing of total value of the jewellery. Appraisals for insurance and divorce are also provided by KC Appraisals.

Attending conferences and meetings, ensures that Karen has up to date information and contacts to use when valuing your jewellery.
