November, 2025

Purpose

This Settlement Agreement is made in good faith and with the intention of honouring the wishes of the late Philippa Seilern (1948-2018).
Its objective is to ensure that Ms Eden Nylen, Philippa's long-time housekeeper, and trusted companion, receives the financial security and dignity that Philippa intended for her.
These provisions, foreseen and expressed by Philippa during her lifetime, were never fulfilled. This settlement will restore her intentions fairly and respectfully.

Background

Following Philippa's death in January 2018, it became apparent that her estate-held within a Liechtenstein foundation administered by Industrie und Finanzkontor Etablissement (Vaduz)-had not been distributed in accordance with her wishes.
The failure to provide for Ms Nylen, who had loyally served the Seilern family for more than three decades, represents a serious moral and fiduciary lapse that this initiative aims to correct.
