On October 18th, 2026, I will be lacing up my running shoes once again to take on the Altra Yorkshire Marathon. This challenge comes after the incredible experience of completing the Rob Burrows Leeds Marathon. The energy and community spirit of that event were truly inspiring, and it motivated me to set my sights on the next big milestone right here in our beautiful home county. ## Running for a Cause: Alzheimer’s Society I am proud to announce that I will be running the Yorkshire Marathon in aid of the **Alzheimer’s Society**. This is a charity very close to many of our hearts, providing vital support to those living with dementia and funding ground-breaking research to find a cure. At Yorkshire Auctions, we often work with families during sensitive times, including estate and probate valuations. We see firsthand the impact that health challenges can have on families, and it feels only right to give back to a cause that supports so many in our community.

Among the many responsibilities faced by executors and families, obtaining an accurate probate valuation is one of the most critical. At Yorkshire Auctions, we understand the sensitivity and precision required for these assessments, ensuring that your estate is handled with the utmost professionalism and care. ## What is a Probate Valuation? A probate valuation is the process of determining the total market value of a deceased person’s assets at the time of their passing. This includes everything from property and vehicles to fine art, antiques, and everyday household items. This valuation is essential for calculating Inheritance Tax (IHT) and is a legal requirement for the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). ## Why Professional Accuracy Matters While it might be tempting to estimate values yourself, HMRC requires “open market value” assessments. Inaccurate valuations can lead to significant issues: - **Overvaluation:** You may end up paying more Inheritance Tax than necessary, depleting the estate’s value for the beneficiaries. - **Undervaluation:** This can trigger investigations by HMRC, leading to potential penalties and delays in the probate process. By choosing a professional auction house like Yorkshire Auctions, you benefit from experts who have their finger on the pulse of the current market. We provide detailed, HMRC-compliant reports that stand up to scrutiny. ## The Yorkshire Auctions Approach Our team provides a comprehensive service tailored to the needs of executors and solicitors in Huddersfield and across Yorkshire. Our process is designed to be as stress-free as possible: 1. **Initial Consultation:** We discuss the scope of the estate and identify items of significant value. 2. **On-Site Inspection:** Our valuers visit the property to catalog and assess items, from rare collectibles to general house contents. 3. **Detailed Reporting:** We provide a formal valuation document suitable for probate application. 4. **Auction Services:** Should you decide to sell items from the estate, we can seamlessly transition them into our upcoming auctions to achieve the best possible price. --- ## Pages ### [Home](https://yorkshireauctions.co.uk/) **Published:** August 25, 2022 **Author:** yorksaucs **Content:** # Yorkshire Auctions # Auctioneers & Valuers [ Contact Us ](https://yorkshireauctions.co.uk/contact/) ### About us - in brief Yorkshire Auctions: antiques and collectables auctioneers, estate and probate valuers based in Huddersfield’s Colne Valley.
