HERITAGE MANAGEMENT FOR HEIRS OF HISTORIC PROPERTY & CULTURAL ASSETS Welcome. I am Matina Agio. I help inheritors of heritage property & cultural assets, develop the suitable mindset and strategies, so that they can enjoy, manage and optimise their ownership with ease. 
Do you own or are you coming into an inheritance of cultural assets - and would like to manage it from a deeper more, creative perspective? Even with the best legal, financial or technical advice, many important aspects of the custodian's experience, are often overlooked. Issues like conflicting family dynamics, generation gaps, lack of clarity or experiencing emotional overwhelm are not uncommon. These challenges, and many others, inevitably influence the decision-making and overall strategies taken, concerning the enjoyment, management and optimisation of privately owned cultural property. Here below, are a few situations you may recognise. 
Navigating the sensitive waters of family dynamics. Conflicts between siblings, step-parents or other co-owners, leading to litigation and depreciation of assets. Overwhelm in appraising, liquidating or sorting out a deceased person's estate. Anxiety over never-ending costly chateau renovations. The complexities of managing a historic house open to the public. Concerns about the preservation of a family archive or a fine art collection… Deciding on the brand strategy for your estate, in an increasingly competitive market. Handling grief over the forced sale of valued family assets. Becoming the beneficiary of a disordered artist's estate or a barely surviving house museum. Handling the clutter of steadily accumulating heirlooms, antiques etc., within your home and storage… Emotional triggers set off, when organising or downsizing an ageing parent's grand apartment. An unclear testament or succession plan leading to confusion. Ethical dilemmas, like whether 'to-take-on' or 'not-to-take-on' a multi-generational family estate- which requires a major life change from both you & your spouse... Processing or implementing varying expert advice. Deeper concerns about your succession & legacy planning. An ancestral trauma or repeating family pattern that needs healing... Many of these situations can be very challenging. Sometimes it is a labyrinth... 
The INHERITANCE MUSE METHOD™ is a holistic-based approach supporting heirs of historic property and cultural assets, to address more personal aspects, practical challenges and deeper dilemmas, affecting the managing of their inheritance.
The aim is to bring clarity in decision-making, create meaningful optimisation of ownership and develop strategies towards a vision-based, value-creating heritage management & legacy plan. The process encourages personal growth, healing and a sense of purpose on the personal inheritance journey. |
