Preserving family
legacy for future
generations
We help you to successfully transition ownership, leadership and management of your business and family’s assets to your successors.
As families in India navigate the complexities of inter-generational wealth transfer, estate planning has become a crucial component of their financial planning. Waterfield offers estate planning services specifically tailored for family offices. In addition to addressing legal and financial aspects of estate planning, we also place a significant emphasis on the softer aspects of family dynamics. Our comprehensive approach takes into account the unique needs and desires of each family member, ensuring a smooth transfer of wealth that aligns with the family's values and goals.
Younger family members will face complex challenges when they assume leadership in managing the family’s wealth. We share your vision to prepare them for future responsibilities and help develop the next generation’s capabilities with practical experience in dealing with those responsibilities. Working with some of the most iconic business families in India has taught us the importance of preparing the next generation to be the custodians of the family’s wealth and legacy. Our team works closely with families to identify the right educational programs and institutions that can impart the knowledge required to empower the next gen to become leaders of tomorrow. We also offer financial literacy programs and ‘How Wealth Works’ workshops to the next-gen family members to familiarise themselves with the complexities of managing substantial wealth.
