#93 – Family Constitutions (AKA the strength of a family, lies in its loyalty to each other)

View Legal Podcast

As (infamously) confirmed by The Godfather, the success and the strength of a family, lies in its loyalty to each other.

Historically a tool almost exclusively leveraged by high net wealth families, increasingly family constitutions are being used as an approach to help manage wealth across generations.

There are however significant risks with family constitutions that all advisers in the holistic estate planning space need to be aware of.

This webinar will use story sharing to explore the key aspects of family constitutions, including:

1. Why family constitutions can be useful
2. What key issues should be addressed in any family constitution.
3. When should morally binding arrangements be entered into
4. When should legally enforceable arrangements be used
5. What are the key risk areas advisers must avoid
