Case Example

Multi-Generational Wealth Planning

A family business owner approached us concerned about succession planning and minimizing inheritance taxes. We established a family trust structure that facilitated the orderly transfer of business ownership to the next generation while maintaining operational control during the transition. The plan included provisions for non-active family members, minimized tax exposure, and protected the business from potential family disputes. Five years later, the transition was completed smoothly, preserving both family harmony and business value.
