To give you an example on how ABN AMRO’s services can make your life easier:
We have just completed a deal with one of our recently acquired clients, a wealthy Belgian entrepreneur, who owns a secondary home on the French Riviera, which he wishes to pass onto his sons.
Consequently, as a part of the succession planning the father sold the property to a French SCI, owned by his sons. As the arm’s length rule is required, the real estate price was determined through an independent valuation report of the property.
The family of the client is dispersed throughout the world; he thus desired a renowned bank with global presence. As a result the client requested a loan from ABN AMRO in order to structure the French wealth and inheritance tax. Through ABN AMRO’s international network and offices, we were able to successfully serve the demands of our client. Enabling the Belgian entrepreneur to maintain the collateral, his investment portfolio, in Asia whilst enabling the French SCI to obtain a loan through Luxembourg.
Following to this successful deal, the client is booking his family wealth under ABN AMRO’s accounts.
