What Is Succession Planning?

A day will come in everybody’s life when we will not be able to give the financial, emotional and health security to the people we love most, whether through accident, disease or death. A well-formed succession plan can provide you the peace of mind that your family will be supported for as you planned. You can set up and fix arrangements in place to help protect their future. This is especially required if you care for dependents.

More About Succession Planning

The Succession Planning Process is a three-part process that includes:

• Recognition of personal assets and those in your broader estate like assets owned in partnerships, or owned by trusts or companies.
• Recognition of possible risks which includes, for example, your early death, the potential divorce or bankruptcy of a beneficiary.
• The design and execution of a plan that includes all your assets and takes into account flexibility to fit and serve future changes, tax minimization, risk minimization and succession issues.

Every step is a multi-disciplinary task that will generally need the cooperative participation of your financial planning, accounting and legal advisers.
