Caring for Valuables and Collectibles in the Afterlife—Published by Convergent Wealth Advisors

"It's Not Just for Pharaohs Anymore," Convergent CEO Says

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 30, 2015

"Who Says You Can't Take It With You?" is the topic of a new brief from Convergent Wealth Advisors. This brief examines ways to preserve and protect valuable collections—art, items of historical interest, jewelry, and the like—after your death. Every year, millions of dollars of valuable collectibles end up in landfills or yard sales, simply because collectors didn't think about what would happen to these treasures upon their death.

In this brief, author and Convergent CEO Douglas Wolford discusses four important steps that all collectors should consider to help safeguard their collections upon their passing. This paper is part of Convergent's "Live Well" series that seeks to broaden the traditional scope of wealth management and its impact on living well.

As Wolford says, "Like it or not, I'm not the owner of my collections—I'm just looking after them for now. Collecting may be fun, but it also comes with a responsibility to keep these relics of history safe for the enjoyment of generations to come and the need to preserve their value and transferability."

Wolford has been a collecting enthusiast for over 25 years.
