On Maintaining the Integrity of the Laubies Estate Collection

The executeur testamentaire needs be made aware of his principle obligation: to properly maintain as an organized, integral and uncompromised whole, the René Laubies Estate Collection. It is only thereafter that the executeur testamentaire should even consider "representing" the estate—comprised of writings, art objects and miscellaneous artifacts. In this way only will the executeur testamentaire be able to accomplish the following four crucial tasks:

1. fortify René Laubies's artistic legacy
2. enhance the estate collection's fiscal value (sold intact to a primary museum)
3. boost thereby the executeur testamentaire's own recompense
4. repair and prevent the executeur testamentaire's personal legacy from becoming that of "dereliction of duty."

Thus in direct regard to the practicalities of securing a favorable acquisition, the executeur testamentaire needs to consider that the slightest suspicion in the mind of a client that the collection's integrity is in any way obscured, or worse, corrupted, will nothing but dash the above mentioned tasks and discredit all concerned.

The executeur testamentaire needs to comprehend his foremost duty: to make transparent the collection's contents or otherwise invite accusations of fraudulence. The estate collection needs to be preserved and conserved intact so that future generations of researchers will may examine it. The executeur testamentaire needs to be made more sensitive of the immense historical importance of the René Laubies Estate Collection.
