Business owners and wealthy individuals regularly entrust us with the design of corporate succession and personal succession plans. Transferring businesses or personal assets to the next generation generally requires consideration of income tax, gift tax and estate tax issues. Once found, solutions must also be explained to and discussed with family members. Together with our client, we will develop a plan for the successful transfer of assets and then implement this plan.

For example, we assist clients with drafting gift and inheritance agreements, inter vivos inheritance agreements, and agreements for the allocation of succession assets among multiple legal heirs. We also help with structuring and implementing family pools, family constitutions and family-owned businesses. In addition to tax issues, we keep in mind corporate law, estate law and, where applicable, capital market law implications. We also have extensive experience with asset transfers and with setting up charitable foundations, family foundations and corporate foundations.
