Philippa Seilern died on 17 January 2018.

Four years later, those responsible for administering her estate have provided no explanation of what became of her foundation’s assets. My purpose in examining this matter has never been personal gain, but to determine whether Philippa’s wishes were respected—especially concerning her staff, the charities she supported, and any surviving family member who might reasonably have expected transparency.

My understanding is based primarily on two notarized declarations made by Eden Nylen, Philippa’s Monte Carlo housekeeper, whose testimony is both detailed and credible. Four issues remain of grave concern:

1. The treatment of Eden Nylen.

In the days following Philippa’s death, Eden—aged 70, loyal for over three decades—was dismissed without compassion, without support, and without even a word of thanks.  Reduced to surviving on less than €10 per day in Monte Carlo, her situation speaks for itself.

2. The opacity of the Liechtenstein foundation system.

Once assets are placed in an irrevocable Stiftung, all power lies with the fiduciaries. Without independent oversight, accountability disappears.

Assets themselves do not vanish: a house in Portugal, an apartment in Monte Carlo, and a substantial investment portfolio must have been transferred somewhere. To date, no one—neither her charities, nor her staff, nor her closest relatives—has received anything.

3. The unexplained actions of Mr. Blöchlinger.

Shortly before her death, while in a vulnerable state, Philippa gave him Eden’s IBAN to Mr. Blöchlinger.  Thisindicates Philippa intended provision for Eden beyond what her Monte Carlo bank account could cover—an intention never honoured.

4. The absence of family support.

Philippa needed help but none was forthcoming.She had become a recluse after her parents died and refused to see anyone.

How desperately lonely and depressed she must have been during those last years.

A nephew (PS Jr.) as well as her first cousin (Boy) live practically next door in MC but were not there in times of need.  They neither visited nor looked after her.

Empathy was not part of the equation.

Philippa deserved better—both in life and in death.

RIP Philippa.

PS ’36
