Description
Art, collectibles, cars, jewelry and other unique assets, perhaps handed down for generations in a family, may form a large share a client's estate. Unlike more traditional assets, these non-traditional assets pose special challenges for planners.
There are issues of valuation – how do you value a painting, even by a well-known artist? – and liquidity. Though very valuable, these objects do not have liquid markets. There are also many issues surrounding the lifetime or post-mortem transfer of control of these assets, tax issues, and, in some instances, intellectual property issues.
These and many other issues can be fascinating but also frustrating.
