Succession planning

Private clients and especially entrepreneurs can choose from a wide range of options for passing on assets over generations. Your assets, estate and loved ones may be particularly at risk if you have been living in multiple jurisdictions. Bespoke solutions can ensure that your wealth is transferred according to your wishes.

We can help you draft wills, mandates in anticipation of incapacity as well as marital and inheritance agreements. Upon request, we may also serve as executors of your will. We’re also experienced in supporting private clients who wish to set up foundations, trusts, partnerships or companies limited by guarantee.

• Designing successful succession planning solutions in light of your circumstances, family situation and businesses.
• Consideration of diverging interests of the various stakeholders involved with a view to developing, where appropriate, a business and family governance framework
• In connection with residence transfers: Reviewing and reconciling structures and arrangements which are recognized and tax-efficient in your state of origin but may attract adverse tax consequences in your current country of residence or in jurisdictions where some of your assets and heirs are located.
  
• Ensuring access to sufficient financial resources for your heirs, wherever they are located.
