Secrecy used to be a means of ensuring security. It seems that now the opposite is true yet many clients do not appreciate this development – something that becomes all too clear following a death. Claims from disappointed (and unexpected) beneficiaries, unclear business succession planning, tax carelessness, hidden assets, miscommunications, misunderstandings and surprises all produce avoidable insecurity for a family and its wealth. The session will: • demonstrate how we can add value by avoiding these uncertainties but accommodating the need for flexibility and the idiosyncrasies of each client • show how legal advice, tax strategy and family governance can together deliver a client’s objectives while retaining privacy and avoiding surprises • illustrate with case studies how best to manage the client who still equates secrecy with security
