Probates and Estates

Lugosi Auctioneers & Valuers understands the importance of delivering valuations with sensitivity and diligence when working with bereaved families, partners and executors. For this reason, we place great emphasis on providing a collaborative service to ensure that estates are settled swiftly, efficiently and successfully.

• offer additional estate advice and dedicated administrative support including the coordination and transport of items to be auctioned at our saleroom [if the auction is not on-site];
• auction specific items or the entire estate’s contents onsite or at our saleroom;
• provide removalists and storage space for items and/or valuable pieces, and deduct clearance costs from the auction proceeds;
• auction unsold estate items to third parties;
• handle the disposal of clearance costs from the auction proceeds.
