Valuable items are often the blind spot for successions and donations. And yet, they are the ones who crystallize the most tensions. Not because they represent the most important financial part of the heritage, but because they are steeped in history, emotion and symbolism.

‍

Without a precise inventory of movable heritage, discussions quickly become subjective: who inherits what? On what basis? What is the real value of such an object? The lack of a clear framework opens the door to misunderstandings, frustrations, and even long-lasting family conflicts.

‍

A structured inventory of valuables makes it easier to transmission and allows notaries, asset advisors and other professionals to intervene on the basis of reliable information, to provide their expertise in an objective framework and to secure inheritance decisions, in the interests of all parties.
