Estate planning is about transferring wealth to the next generation in the broadest sense, either during lifetime or upon death. While reducing the tax burden does play a role, family principles on protection of wealth and sound organisation of its control are at least as important.

Dealing with a family owned business or other valued family assets means having to deal with the interests of multiple generations. Finding the right balance is paramount, as is properly establishing the appropriate control structures.

In these times of transparency, we help entrepreneurs and high net worth families to limit the visibility of their wealth to the public to the extent possible within the boundaries of the law. Depending on their specific motivations, we advise our clients on structures that suit them best.
