Heritage & taxation

As collectors ourselves, we understand the delicate balance between emotional connection and financial responsibility that comes with this passion. No matter the size of a collection, estate planning is a vital step—one that allows collectors to take an active role in ensuring our vision endures.

At the heart of our succession planning approach, is a deep understanding of the collector’s intent and personal wishes. From there, we help design clear provisions and mechanisms to guide the collection’s future—ensuring fairness, preventing family conflict, and shielding beneficiaries from unnecessary tax burdens and the complexities of art management.
