The acknowledgement has to be contemporaneous, provided by the time the return claiming a deduction for the donation is due to be filed, and has to describe the donation accurately, but does not have to state a monetary value when the donation is of goods or services.&nbsp; It needs to give the monetary value of anything received by the donor in return.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can only think there was some kind of release required if you needed them to provide an actual appraisal with estimated monetary value.&nbsp; If you are executor/trustee of the estate, I do not know why you could not sign such a document.&nbsp; What exactly did the window that is now closed open on to?&nbsp; Are they saying they now no longer know who gave it to them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
