Hard to believe I've been at this for so many years and I've not been faced with this before.
This is the situation: I have done appraisal work for a woman over the years and now at an advanced age she has been assigned a conservator. The woman's daughter (also a customer) recently came to me asking to have updates to a couple of her mom's pieces done and to have her own name on the documents. I informed her I could not do this without . . . without what? A letter from the conservator? Her mom's attorney?
I do not want get involved with their family situation, but I felt awkward not knowing who would be the arbitrator in this case.

When we are looking at a piece that you know belongs to person "A", for person "B" to come along and ask for a valuation on the same piece but with her name on sounds like asking for trouble. Avoid like the plague is my advice.
