Wealth that is meant to outlive you cannot rest on a single signature.

• The wealth is substantial, and its transfer must not depend on a single person or a single signature.
• You want to set ownership apart from the heirs, yet keep the running of it in the family’s hands.
• An outside trustee gives you no confidence — you need a structure under family control.
• Assets and family are in different countries, and succession threatens foreign law and dispute.

What the House does

The House builds the trust and, where needed, the private trust company as a single construction: the trust holds the assets by settled rules, the PTC acts as trustee of that trust — under family control, not an outside trustee. First the picture of the assets and the architecture, then incorporation through local partners and the governance of the line. One partner of the House carries the mandate.

• A picture of the assets and the choice of construction: trust · trust + PTC.
• Incorporation of the trust and the PTC through certified local partners.
• The rules of the trust: disposition, protection, the order of passage to heirs.
• The governance of the PTC — who runs the trust on behalf of the line, and how.
• Integration into the wider order of succession and alignment with reporting.

What you get: a trust deed and an incorporated PTC, turnkey · the rules of disposition and the order of inheritance · the governance charter of the line · 2 shells under the family’s single control

Why this way and not another

• There is a will but no structure — and the estate is still divided by a foreign court under foreign law.
• An outside trustee holds control over the family’s wealth, and that does not suit everyone.
• A trust without considered governance leaves open the question of who actually runs it.

What worries you — and the House’s answer

• “Once the assets are in trust, the family will lose control of them.” — The PTC keeps the running of the trust in the hands of the line: control is preserved through settled governance, not surrendered to an outside trustee.
• “The trust will be taken as an attempt to hide something.” — The construction is built transparently and with substance, under automatic exchange of information.
• “The heirs will fall out at the transfer all the same.” — The rules of disposition and the order of inheritance are settled in advance, not left to dispute.

Where this leads

The wealth is held by a trust run by the family’s private trust company: ownership is set apart from the person, control stays within the family, and the passage to the heirs proceeds by settled rules — across borders and free of dispute. The wealth ceases to depend on a single signature and a single life.
