Long-term intentions
Consider the intended purpose of the arrangements and the people they are designed to serve before defining the structure.

Arrangements for the orderly transition of wealth and responsibilities between generations.
Succession planning considers the people and responsibilities around an asset as well as the asset itself. We support trust and family arrangements that give form to a client’s longer-term intentions. The work connects the present holding structure with questions of continuity, family governance and the needs of the next generation.
Consider the intended purpose of the arrangements and the people they are designed to serve before defining the structure.
Bring succession considerations into trust administration and family governance, with appropriate attention to existing asset-holding arrangements.
Support the administrative and governance arrangements associated with next-generation planning, alongside the family’s wider professional advice.
Succession arrangements must be considered in the context of the relevant jurisdictions, governing documents and family circumstances. Independent legal and tax advice may be necessary. No particular inheritance, tax or asset-protection outcome is assured.
