Estate Purchase

Winding up an estate is a sensitive task, and it usually raises one question early on: what happens to the valuable, well-kept items? Edelweiss Räumungen is your experienced and reputable partner for estate purchase (Nachlassankauf) in Zurich. We offer not only a professional clearance but also a fair and transparent estate valuation (Nachlass Schätzung), so that you receive the best possible value for antiques, art and collectibles.

Our specialist estate and purchase service is aimed at private individuals, communities of heirs (Erbengemeinschaft, the group of co-heirs who jointly own an estate until it is divided) and above all executors of the will (Willensvollstrecker, the person appointed to administer a Swiss estate). We understand that your job is to settle the estate in the best interests of the heirs. That is why we offer a straightforward, fully traceable process: we assess the value of the estate expertly and offset it directly against the cost of the clearance. This maximises the proceeds for the estate and keeps the process running smoothly.

Our estate purchase covers a wide range of valuables:

• Antiques and art: Expert valuation and purchase of antique furniture, paintings, sculptures and more.
• Design classics and furniture: Fair prices for well-kept designer furniture and modern furnishings.
• Jewellery, watches and silver: Discreet purchase of branded jewellery, luxury watches, gold and silverware.
• Collections of every kind: We specialise in valuing and buying complete collections (coins, stamps and porcelain, for example).

For executors in particular: a partner you can rely on

As an executor of the will you carry a great deal of responsibility. You need a partner who not only works efficiently but is also completely trustworthy and transparent. Edelweiss Räumungen specialises in working with executors, estate administrators and trustees.

What we guarantee you:

• Market-based estate valuation: Our experts establish the real value of the inventory, so that you meet your duty of care towards the heirs.
• Transparent documentation: You receive a clear, itemised statement of the purchase value and the clearance costs.
• A complete solution from one provider: We combine the estate purchase with a broom-clean clearance (besenrein, the Swiss handover standard) and environmentally sound disposal. That saves you valuable time and administrative effort.
• Absolute discretion and punctuality: We work reliably in the background so that you can settle the estate without friction.
