I'm not sure what your wanting to know here, but generally the car will be considered a total loss when the repairs will cost 70% or more of the average book value. If the car is totaled, they will check the condition of the car prior to the wreck and settle for what it would take to buy another one in that condition. If none are available to check pricing, then they will generally pick KBB or NADA average price for the car. Some adjusters will try to settle for less because that is how they make their money.

Can a life insurance license help you get an appraiser license?

The licenses are regulated by the state where you live and any states where you desire to work under the license. A life insurance sales license will have nothing to do with a license to be an appraiser. They are probably controlled by to difference agencies if you are talking about a property appraiser. If you are talking about an insurance adjuster rather than appraiser then they would both be handled by the Insurance Department.

What can you claim in an RV accident it was the other drivers fault the Camper was totaled?

Insurance is made to pay for your financial loss due to an accident, not to see what you can get. In this case if there were no real injuries and the camper is not repairable then the insurance company will pay you the value of the camper and you will be made whole. This means you will have no real loss financially than you were in before the accident. The insurance company have the option to repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of the vehicle. If any other items that were not part of the camper were damaged they will be included such as televisions, computers, etc.


The Purpose of an Estate Appraiser?

An estate appraiser is in charge of assessing the true value of a house and the property that the house is located on. The appraiser is an expert in property values. He or she generally works for a real estate agency, insurance company, or bank that offers mortgages.Establish the Value of the EstateThe main goal of an estate appraiser is to determine the actual market value of a house, including all of the land and assets that are included with the house. The appraiser will take into consideration the condition of the house and property as well as the current value of other houses in the same area. Sometimes the value of a house will be much higher simply because it is located in an expensive area. The appraiser looks at every detail of the property, from the plumbing to the shingles on the roof, before making an official statement of the value of the estate. If the homeowner intends to rent the property out, the appraiser provides an estimate of what the property’s rental value is so that the owner can establish a fair price. Most owners set a rental price that covers all of their costs for a property.Provide Accurate Quotes for Insurance PurposesWhen the value is determined by an estate appraiser, it impacts several different expenses related to the property. The most important aspect of an estate appraisal for the property owner is that it gives the home insurance company a concrete value to work from if the property were ever damaged. The homeowner can decide what type of insurance to carry on the home aside from the typical homeowner’s insurance depending on the value that the appraiser assigns to different parts of the property.Determine Tax LiabilityAn appraiser’s value for the property is also recognized by the government as the taxable value of the house. This is the amount that the federal and state government will use to compute the homeowner’s tax obligation each year. If the estate’s value goes up dramatically, the taxes on the estate will also go up dramatically. Many homeowner’s prefer that their property value increases in a gradual manner instead of quickly.
