At LiquiEstate, we are proud members and supporters of the International Collectors Association (ICA). While we share the thrill of collecting, as do so many other collectors, unfortunately, a large part of our business is selling items left to family members who either do not share the same passion for collecting or simply do not have the space to take on a collection.
While we find the need to rehome collections an all too often sad reality of our business, nothing brings us greater joy than finding others who share the same collective passion as the original collector. We understand that a collection is more than just a set of items; it is a reflection of the collector's soul and is a testament to their dedication and love for their chosen interest. We like to think of this as passing a little of one's soul on to live through others and subsequent generations.
Think of all the joy collecting has brought you. Now, consider the emotional weight of what will become of your collection and all the hard work and dedication you have invested in it after your passing. Will your family truly appreciate it, or will they see it as a burden? Will the integrity of your collection remain intact, or will your energy and enthusiasm be lost as it's broken up and sold off? These are the difficult questions we at LiquiEstate urge you to consider.
At LiquiEstate, we implore you to give thought to your collections now. It's crucial to have open and honest discussions with family and loved ones to see if they have an interest in continuing the legacy. By starting these conversations, you can ensure that your collections are passed on in a way that respects your passion and dedication.
If, after discussions with loved ones, you find the results undesirable, we at LiquiEstate offer a potential solution. Consider placing us in your will as a custodian. Our goal will be to place your collections as a whole when possible. Whether in whole or part, we will always strive to find a home that shares the passion, joy, and excitement you have had putting your collections together.
Whether your collection is to be placed with an individual, museum, school, library, or association, you will have peace of mind knowing it is being given and cared for with the same love and dedication you have invested. With LiquiEstate your collection will be in good hands, helping to ensure your legacy lives on.
