Fideicommiss
Prince Ferdinand, Duke of Alencon, married, it was estimated that he and his three siblings stood to inherit a total of a million francs just from their share of their late grandmother's estate.[10]
Until the first world war, her descendants were among the three largest landowners in Hungary.
- Prinz Ferdinand Coburgsches Fideikommiss
- Gräflich Kohárysches Fideikomiss
The two fideicommisses allowed to hold the family property in foundations owned by the whole family, but governed by the head of the family alone, the Fideicommissherr. Aristocratic families had used this instrument to finance the representative household of the head of the family as well as to maintain palaces and castles, and to pay allowances to family members without personal wealth.
