IAP Collection, Curator
This is a post simply for "transparency" for the membership.
On 6/4/2015, I had a notarized "Irrevocable Inter Vivos Deed of Gift" signed and completed for the IAP Collection Holdings.
In simple terms, this is a formal document that the holdings of the IAP Collection is the property of IAP. This is important as there should not be any question that as I, or a successor caretaker (Curator as Jeff boldly labeled me...) receive these incredible pens, they are in fact the property of IAP.
So, if at any time in the future there are questions on this (although I actually expect none) IAP has clear title to the holdings.
I have (unfortunately) been taught several times in my life that it is prudent to get this stuff done before it is an issue.
As I fully expect to pass the baton on managing the IAP Collection to another member at some point, this was a matter of "housekeeping" that was on my checklist. One done, 4,792 to go...
