A collection is assembled over years. It is passed on in a single document.

Between “left the paintings to the children” and “the collection survived as a whole” lies the difference of a structure set in advance. The House holds a collection across borders, taxes and generations, as a single asset, not a scatter of objects.

This is you if

The collection is worth a fortune, yet you own it as a set of objects in your own name.
Objects and storage are in different countries, and every border is a duty, a tax and a risk of disclosure.
You want to pass the collection on whole, so the heirs do not sell it off while dividing the estate.

A collection gathered over a lifetime is divided by the heirs in a single dispute.
Its integrity is set by a structure while the owner is here.

Settled positions for the collection

Five moves around the collection

ISuccession of the collectionA structure that holds the collection as a single asset and passes it on whole, without a split and without a sale at inheritance.→IIOwnership through a structureThe collection separated from the personal name and brought under one architecture, the inheritance law of one country does not decide for the whole collection.→IIIMoving across bordersStorage, exhibition and movement of objects between jurisdictions, without undue duties and without an event that discloses the owner.→IVProvenance and clean titleThe right to the objects and the history of ownership documented so the bank, the insurer and a future buyer accept them.→VA foundation or a legacyThe collection as a foundation, or a quiet transfer to the heirs, the order set by you, not by the law of a foreign country.→

“Silence is the highest form of trust.”

One asset or a scattered estate. The House keeps the collection one, in silence.

Integrity is set while you are here.

A Diagnostic will show the ownership, the borders, the taxes and the options of structure for the collection. Days, not months.
