Legacy Transfer/ Succession Planning
Legacy asset transfer or Succession planning involves creating a comprehensive strategy to transfer your assets to your legal heirs or beneficiaries after your death. This process typically involves careful consideration of legal, financial, and tax implications to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes while minimizing potential complications or disputes. Here are some key steps to consider when planning for legacy asset transfer:
Define your objectives: Start by clearly articulating your goals and priorities for asset distribution. Consider who you want to receive your assets, how you want them to be distributed, and any specific conditions or instructions you may have.
Creating inventory of assets: Create a detailed inventory of all your assets, including financial accounts, real estate, investments, business interests, intellectual property, and personal belongings. Determine the value of each asset and evaluate their significance to your estate.

Will Writing :
Writing a will is an important aspect for transfer of asset and securing the financial well-being of your loved ones. It allows you to allocate your wealth and assets according to your wishes and provides flexibility for modifications. Writing a will is an essential part of personal financial planning that guarantees your assets are distributed after death according to your wish. It is a binding legal instrument that specifies how your belongings should be handled and how your preferred beneficiaries should be paid out.
Why should you have a Will?
Our will writing services involve the following steps:
Step 1
- Explanation of what is Will?
- Understanding your family circumstances and creating a list of your assets and liabilities
- Assisting you in deciding how your assets and liabilities should be distributed
- Gathering details of witnesses and executors
Step 2
In this meeting, we present the final draft of the will to you and discuss any desired changes. If no changes are required, we provide you with the final draft for your approval.
As wealth grows and family structures become more complex, a Private Family Trust becomes a powerful succession tool. A Private Family Trust is a structured arrangement where assets are transferred to a Trust and managed by Trustees for the benefit of family members, as per clearly defined rules.
- Separates ownership from control
- Protects family wealth from personal, business, and marital risks
- Creates a rule-based framework for asset use and distribution
- Reduces future disputes and litigation
- Ensures smooth continuity across generations
- Aligns wealth with long-term family values and vision
Private Family Trusts are particularly relevant for:
- HNIs and business owners
- Families with multiple heirs
- Individuals seeking long-term control over asset usage
- Those looking beyond one-time succession planning
Our Role
We work closely with legal and tax experts to:
- Assess suitability of a Private Family Trust
- Design trust structures aligned with family goals
- Assist in implementation and ongoing advisory
Our Approach
Succession planning is not a one-size-fits-all solution. We focus on understanding your family dynamics, asset mix, and long-term intent, and then recommend the most appropriate structure — whether that is a Will, a Private Family Trust, or a combination of both.
