Read previewNearly 80% of wealthy art collectors want their masterpieces to stay in the family, according to a Bank of America survey.
For instance, the survey found that collectors between 21 and 43 have a greater appreciation for sculptures and antiquities than older art aficionados.
Rich art collectors are reluctant to address the issue, according to Rosemary Ringwald, head of art planning at Bank of America's private bank.
Collectors are increasingly picking art executors or art trustees to oversee their possessions after they die, she said.
The ideal executor does not have a financial interest in the art and isn't a prospective owner of it.
