Uncomfortable conversations today can build generational momentum tomorrow. Discover why communication, governance and systems are the pillars of lasting wealth.

As part of our Wealth Check-in for the remainder of the year, we turn our focus to one of the most pivotal aspects of long-term financial well-being: succession planning. July’s theme, Conversations that Count, invites you to reflect on whether you have had meaningful discussions with your family about your succession plan.

Why these conversations matter

Succession planning is more than just drafting a will or setting up a trust. It is about ensuring your values, vision and wealth are passed on with purpose. Yet, many families avoid these conversations, often until it’s too late.

Without clear communication, even the most well-structured plans can unravel. Misunderstandings, perceptions of fairness, unmet expectations and unresolved tensions can erode not just wealth, but relationships.

The Wealth Succession approach

With an unwavering commitment to our clients’ and their families’ financial well-being, we have crafted a unique approach that blends:

• Personalised strategies
• Cutting-edge technology
• A deep understanding of individual and family aspirations

We believe the role of a modern wealth advisor is to guide families through complexity, ultimately achieving simplicity on the other side.

This journey begins with a deep and earnest understanding of the family and its dynamics. No two families are alike, but our experience allows us to facilitate quality conversations, often the single most significant element determining the success or failure of wealth succession.

We call the value created through these conversations generational momentum and we accomplish this through comprehensive succession and wealth planning, management and sans frontier relationships. Relationships that transcend borders and generations.

Preservation vs. Dissipation

Our expert guidance reveals a striking truth: some families preserve wealth across generations, while others don’t. The difference often lies not in the size of the estate, but in the systems, governance and communication that support it.

Key factors that influence wealth continuity:

• Systems: Formal structures like trusts, family offices and investment strategies provide stability and clarity.
• Governance: Defined roles, dispute resolution mechanisms, decision-making processes and shared values help families navigate complexity.
• Communication: Open, honest dialogue fosters trust and alignment across generations.

Starting the Conversation

Here are a few questions to help guide meaningful succession discussions:

• What legacy do I want to leave behind?
• Who should be involved in decision-making?
• How can we ensure transparency and fairness?
• What values do I want to pass on alongside wealth?

These conversations don’t need to happen all at once. Start small, be consistent and seek professional support and guidance.
