If you are like most collectors, your family does not understand your passion for the hobby. In most cases they tolerate your cross-country treks to look for parts or meet up with friends on a Saturday morning.
They don’t know what you have, let alone what to do with it if something happens to you.
Our team will work with you to integrate your classic collection into a comprehensive estate plan that continues your vision for your collection and makes the process simple for your heirs while maintaining your collection.

Estate Planning
Don’t let your heirs pay unnecessary taxes. We know of no other firm that understands the problems that a million dollar plus collection can cause. We can integrate your collection into a comprehensive approach. No matter if it's selling the entire collection, donating all or a portion to charity or a museum, or creating your own foundation to maintain the collection in a museum of your own, we can help you accomplish your vision
Valuation
We have expert appraisal services who will make sure each vehicle is valued correctly. They will make sure it sells for its full value at the correct venue. No more wrong car at the wrong auction where if brings your heirs half it's actual value.
Legal
We have a legal team who only works on collector car issues. They are here to help with any title or ownership issues. Transferring one title after a death is daunting for the uninitiated. A dozen or more can take an extraordinary amount of time. If there are issues with the paperwork, it can be "left until later" and not delt with for years or decades while your collection decays. Don't let your collection be the next barn find!
Fleet Management
We have a team who will take care of your collection. Estates can take time to settle. We have people who are experienced in maintaining each of your high value collector or exotic vehicle's specific needs. Tires to tune ups, your collection sitting for years, unattended is bad for what you've taken a lifetime to build.
