Preparing for an inheritance

Whatever your circumstances, an estate should not be a burden. Preparing carefully for the transfer of your estate is essential to ensure a smooth transition. Wealth is about supporting future generations, whether preserving your spouse's standard of living or providing the integrity of your assets over time. Just as a business owner prepares his files for his successor, you also need to put measures in place for a successful succession. This includes material assets, values, commitments, and even the possibility of contributing to philanthropy or setting up foundations.
