Expertise

Succession & Estate Planning

We advise on succession and estate planning with a focus on cross-border compatibility, clear instructions, and practical implementation that reduces dispute risk.


How we typically support


We coordinate succession mechanics with governance continuity so decision-making remains stable during transitions.


Scope of services


  • Planning succession in cross-border family contexts

  • Coordinating structure governance with inheritance planning objectives

  • Designing continuity and incapacity planning workstreams

  • Supporting documentation and implementation (instructions, governance steps)

  • Reducing dispute risk through clarity, records, and consistency checks

  • Cooperating with foreign counsel and advisors


Approach


Succession planning should be implementable and dispute-resilient. We focus on clarity of intent, consistency across instruments, and governance mechanics that reduce uncertainty at the moment it matters most.


Deliverables


  • A cross-border issue map (conflicts, formalities, execution risks)

  • An implementation roadmap (documents, steps, timing, responsibilities)

  • A dispute-risk memo (typical points of challenge and mitigations)


Cross-border execution risk


Cross-border succession fails most often at execution. We map formalities, conflict-of-law pressure points, and governance continuity needs so that the plan remains implementable at the moment it matters and less exposed to challenge.


Selected experience (anonymised)


  • Coordinating succession planning with foundation/holding governance

  • Reviewing documentation for cross-border consistency and execution risk

  • Designing continuity mechanics to reduce family conflict escalation


If you require a second opinion on cross-border execution risk, we can typically accommodate short timelines.
