Succession planning is not just about the money.
Succession planning is more than just avoiding inheritance taxes
Regardless of the size of your estate, it is important to think ahead about how the inheritance will be distributed and what steps you can take today to make it happen according to your wishes. With the right advice, you will have peace of mind.
Succession planning is not a snapshot
A solution that seemed like the best choice five years ago may no longer be the best choice today. Legislation, family and financial situations are constantly evolving. For example, the government may adjust the calculation of inheritance tax, family relationships change, the family expands through marriage or birth, or beneficiaries from a previously drafted will die.
The assets to be inherited may also change, or your wishes may have evolved in the meantime, for example, following a gift that has already been made or a changed vision of whom you want to benefit.
There are therefore many reasons to regularly reevaluate decisions you have already made.Are the choices made still correct and fiscally beneficial? Do they still match what you want today? These are important questions that are often given too little thought.
