An IRA of actual goods is bonkers. You shouldn't need to 'hire' anyone to give you a written value on the coins. Any 'coin dealer' you bring them to should be willing to write something up / fill out the form stating the value of the coins. Uncle Sam insists on getting that tax cut, so it makes sense that you have to have some stated value of the goods. This was moderately interesting reading: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/gold-for-your-ira-1309886856846 It looks like by the rules, they are probably not allowed to send you the coins, but they may not know that. I'd check see if USAGold or the other outfit mentioned in the article are able to provide the necessary value estimations by interfacing with the brokerage firm that is actually holding the coins. Your best bet will probably be to deal directly with the company that your brother set this up with. You should absolutely not stress something like this with complex estate issues. I am currently dealing with my mother-in-law's house that she has finally had to move out of, and it's a giant headache. Just keep chipping away, and don't beat yourself up over what sounds like a pretty minor detail. Look into finding local resources to assist you on the estate liquidation side of things. The YWCA here has a pretty amazing estate sale program where you take everything out of the house you want, and they will go through and price/sell everything left. They do take a decent cut (30% or so here), but they can price things accurately, and they handle the logistics.
