Ownership is rarely straightforward. We advise on corporate holding vehicles (onshore or offshore), VAT considerations, customs and import matters, flag jurisdiction (for yachts), hangarage or marina registration, and how these interact with personal tax and reporting obligations. For art and collectibles, we can assist with provenance, insurance structuring, and cross-border transport.
Many clients also face challenges with succession and gifting – especially when the asset carries sentimental or lifestyle value. We help integrate luxury assets into broader estate planning and trust/foundation structures, avoiding forced sales or family disputes.
We also work with brokers, family offices, and insurers during acquisitions and disposals – ensuring due diligence, proper valuation and clean ownership transfer. Whether you’re buying a Picasso or a Bombardier, we make sure it’s done properly.
