Legal Structuring & Compliance for Yachts, Aircraft & Fine Art Investments
Purchasing high-value assets like yachts, private jets, or collectible art is not just a lifestyle decision — it’s a complex legal transaction involving ownership structures, cross-border regulations, tax strategy, and asset protection.
At YUDEY, we advise HNWIs, collectors, family offices, and investment funds on the legal acquisition, financing, registration, and protection of luxury assets across multiple jurisdictions. Our role is to ensure that prestige purchases remain private, compliant, and commercially secure.
