Cross-Generational Family Office

First let me state, that there is a vast difference between "well-being" and "being well off". Families living in a privileged situation often lose their freedom to dispose of their time and energy by becoming embroiled in countless hours of administrative hassle. Preferably they ought to seek a personalized framework that will allow the family members to devote their time to the things they care most about. A dedicated family office structure can provide for the necessary stability, continuity and freedom.

The families seeking to successfully preserve their human and financial capital are prudent to evaluate the benefits and costs of having their own structure that integrates all or some considerations pertaining to governance, legal, financial, business ownership and other family related matters. Under the experienced guidance of MA, families weigh the benefits of establishing their own family office, or to seek refuge under an existing Multi-Family Office structure.

Begin with your own personal reflections by answering some of the essential questions:

  • When and how do I write a last Will
  • How can I convey our family values to our children and grand-children?
  • Who will take care of my kids if I am no longer around?
  • How can I prepare my children to master the burden of wealth?
  • How should I compensate my child working for the family business?
  • When and how do I hand over my leadership to the next generation?
  • I have earned the privilege to spend more time with people and things I really care about, but who can I trust to deal with my personal matters?
  • Who will help my family to weather the uncertainties of financial risks and to protect the wealth for future beneficiaries?
  • How can I trust someone again after being deceived by so many alleged experts?
