Private Advisory

Structures for succession.

Using trusts and foundations to hold and pass wealth on your terms.

What it is

Wealth held for what comes next.

Outright gifts pass wealth but not the conditions around it. A trust or foundation lets you pass wealth while keeping a framework around how and when it is used — protecting it from claims, holding it for heirs not yet ready, and carrying your intentions beyond your own involvement.

We advise on whether such a structure fits your succession, design how it should hold and distribute, and coordinate the regulated providers who run it. As ever, we advise and design; we do not act as trustee or council.

How we advise

Holding wealth under a binding framework for chosen beneficiaries.

Foundations for succession →

Using an entity of its own to hold and govern family wealth.

Conditions and protection

Setting how and when wealth reaches heirs, and shielding it from claims.
