Scenario
Every adviser working to a different plan
The lawyer, the accountant and the bank each have their own idea of what the family wants.
- The situation
- The family has never written down what its wealth is for. Each decision about a property, a structure or a gift is made on its own, and advisers learn about each other's work late.
- What we would do
- We map the balance sheet, entities, goals and existing advisers, then agree with the family a plan that drives every decision, so structures, tax planning and transactions follow from it.
- Where it leaves the family
- Lawyers, accountants, banks and managers work to the same plan, and the family sees one consolidated view.
