Hello,

I have been conducting some research using estate inventories that date from 1780-1860 in Virginia.  Can anyone tell me what determined whether or not an appraisement and sale was done on any given individual's estate?  Originally, I thought that perhaps if someone died without having a will that an appraisement would be done, but then I began to notice that some folks had wills, appraisements, and sale bills, while some folks didn't have a will, but had appraisements and sale bills.  

If anyone could help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate it!
