Art, antiques, jewellery, watches and collectibles are frequently held within trust structures, charitable foundations and philanthropic estates. These tangible assets can represent significant financial and cultural value, making accurate valuation and specialist market advice essential for trustees responsible for their stewardship.
Lyon & Turnbull works closely with trustees, wealth managers, accountants and legal advisors to provide independent valuations and specialist guidance. These services support the effective administration of trust-held assets, ensuring objects are properly documented, valued and reported within broader estate and financial planning frameworks.
Formal valuations are often required for trust administration, tax reporting, estate planning, insurance, or the transfer of assets between beneficiaries. Reliable market evidence is particularly important where art or collectibles form part of a wider portfolio of financial and property assets. Our specialists provide detailed valuation reports that give trustees and advisors a clear understanding of current market value and the potential options available for managing or realising those assets.
