Thank You
This is the point I am trying to show,and if you are faced with this,what you should do.I hate that they are doing this and feel very sorry that it has come to this.But if you use this to improve how you can handle this because it covers so much of the guidelines on collections and behavior.This will be a book.the appariser I hired is one of the top6 licenced through the goverment in Native American and is Native American.Using a person like this you receive an actualy history which brings up the valvue of what you have in your collections and lets you know where it came from and comparables,So if you have incomplete records you get history, real value and who owned it without spending valuble hours on research.This is just one of the things that this is about.Also a major point on why you should be happy to include anyone that knows about any of your collections and involve them.They can help in these rough times and would of been happy and excited to tell their tale.I believed their was a story about this.Transparency and being a good neighbor will keep you away from something like this.All we can ask is to be honest and you will be respected.
