Succession planning
Whatever succession strategy you choose, it is important to set the right course early on. The needs of the business, the entrepreneur, the successor and the family must all be acknowledged and taken into account. In addition, company-related factors such as the legal aspects of taxation, inheritance and pension must also be considered.

- We advise you on the implementation of your chosen succession strategy and guide you through the implementation.
Estate planning
Especially where large estates and businesses are concerned, the impact of an unexpected loss of decision-making capacity, or a death, should be taken into consideration. Specific questions will arise, such as:
- Who will make decisions regarding the assets?
- Who will succeed the business?
- How will succession be regulated between the heirs?
- How can we ensure that third parties will not interfere in family matters?
