Legacy Planning
Third Streaming offers specialized estate and legacy planning for artists and philanthropists to create enduring legacies. Our personalized planning services ensure your contributions and artistic works are preserved for future generations.
Our extensive experience spans artist-endowed foundations and individual artists' estates. A prime example is our work with the Alvin Baltrop Trust, where we helped Baltrop, previously unknown in the art world, gain significant recognition and establish a market for his oeuvre. This showcases our ability to combine curatorial, archival, and market expertise, offering unparalleled support and personalized solutions. Additionally, we ensure the missions and legacies of artist-endowed foundations are effectively preserved and promoted.
Our Services include but are not limited to:
• Estate Management & Legacy Planning: Ensuring the recognition and preservation of artists' work for future generations, including market creation and historical inclusion. Comprehensive strategies for securing and managing your assets.
• Art Preservation: Expert guidance to protect and maintain the integrity of artistic works and archive, ensuring they remain accessible and relevant to the public.
• Philanthropic Structuring: Create a lasting legacy reflective of your values through tailored solutions that optimize your charitable contributions, including the transfer of collection assets through both sales and gifts.
