The goal isn’t to live forever. It’s to create something that will.
When you own a family enterprise that will be passed on to the next generation, there’s a lot to consider in leaving a legacy and family succession.
Capabilities
As the business environment is constantly evolving, it’s important for family business owners to ask questions:
- Can our family become nimbler?
- Can we adapt to societal and generational change?
- How do we need to adjust our long-term plans to cater for intergenerational succession?
- And what do we want our legacy to be?
Many families do not understand their asset protection and family succession plans, and some have no family succession plans at all. As we all know, failing to plan is planning to fail. If an individual dies or becomes disabled without a succession plan in place, their assets will be determined by the laws of the country in which they live or the countries in which assets are located. That won’t happen on KMT Partners’ watch!
Our professional advisors raise ‘what-if’ scenarios to encourage healthy conversations to help families navigate complex, sensitive, and important issues. We will also help identify experts to bring into the dialogue, as required, to ensure that you have and understand your family’s asset protection and succession structure to minimise disputes and loss of assets, and maximise family happiness.
