Legacy & Succession Planning
Estate Asset Protection
Structured custody for family wealth, heirlooms, and estate holdings — coordinated with your legal and fiduciary advisors to protect assets across generations.
Overview
Custody Structured Around Succession, Not Just Storage
Estate asset protection is built for holdings that need to outlast a single generation. Rather than a simple storage account, KaratShield structures custody around your succession plan, working directly with your attorneys, executors, and trustees to ensure the arrangement matches your estate documents.
We establish documented succession-access protocols in advance — pre-authorized instructions that activate on defined estate events, so authorized parties can be granted access without delay or ambiguity when it matters most.
Because estates rarely consist of a single asset type, this service holds bullion, jewelry, fine art, and important documents together under one estate-linked custody plan, with confidential valuation and holdings reporting available for estate administration purposes.
