Phase I Estate Review Request

Start Your Phase I Estate Review

Before you begin, please complete this form to submit your artwork for a Phase I Estate Authentication & Market Review — the required first step before any William Verdult piece can be considered for formal certification.

  • This submission will be reviewed by our team to assess whether the piece is a strong candidate to proceed.
  • A nonrefundable $198 review fee is required after submission.
  • If your piece is confirmed and you proceed to Phase II Formal Certification, returning Phase I clients receive our preferred Phase II rate.
  • Submission does not guarantee certification.

Before you start, have ready:

  • Clear images of the front, back, and signature of the artwork
  • Any prior ownership documentation or past Certificates of Authenticity (optional, but helpful)
  • Basic information about how and when the work was acquired
