For business-owning families, treating every child fairly doesn’t always mean treating every child exactly the same.
One child may have spent years working in the business and want to take it over. Another may have built a different career and have no interest in ownership. That can make succession about more than simply dividing assets equally.
The financial and legal structure matters, but so does the family conversation behind it. What does each child want? How will ownership and other assets be handled? Does everyone understand the reasoning behind the plan?
Having those conversations early can create clarity while there’s still time to thoughtfully explore the options.
We help families consider how the business, estate and broader financial plan fit together, coordinating with other professionals where appropriate.
