Residence Passage

From one residence into the next life setting.

A change of residence may involve more than an acquisition, sale or physical move.

It can require the coordination of property, liquidity, family decisions, schools, legal and administrative matters, banking relationships, professional advisers and the practical establishment of life in a new city or country.

DGF Private Office holds this passage together as one matter.

The governing statement

One passage. Two fields of attention.

Residence Transition Planning addresses the financial, temporal and practical relationship between the existing residence and the next.

Arrival & Residence Establishment coordinates the family's practical establishment in the new residence, city or country.

Together, they preserve continuity before, during and after the move.

The two fields

I

Residence Transition Planning

Coordinating the financial, temporal and practical passage from one principal residence to another.

Moving between principal residences can create a temporary mismatch between ownership, liquidity and time.

DGF Private Office begins early — coordinating the acquisition and disposal timelines, preparing the existing residence, assessing the anticipated funding gap and bringing the appropriate banks and professional advisers into one coherent process.

Financing is provided or arranged only through appropriately authorised entities and partners.

II

Arrival & Residence Establishment

Coordinating the family's practical establishment in a new residence, city or country.

Entering a new residence — particularly in another city or country — requires many separate matters to come into correspondence.

DGF Private Office establishes one arrival plan, appoints the appropriate local specialists and remains the family's point of continuity until the new residence and its surrounding life are properly in place.
