Scenario
Branches of the family that want different things
One branch wants its own advisers. Another wants everything kept together.
- The situation
- As the family grows, each branch has its own plans, and some feel the family office still serves the founders first. Decisions are made informally, and not everyone sees the same numbers.
- What we would do
- We help the family agree charters and councils that give each generation a role in decisions, with education that prepares the next one to lead, and the same plan, reporting and team extend to each branch's spouses, children and trusts.
- Where it leaves the family
- Independence for each generation, unity for the family.
