OUR EXPERTISE

Succession of Family Trusts & Companies

Planning who will take over a family trust or private company is an important part of estate planning, especially if you want the right people to carry things forward after you’re gone. While these assets don’t usually form part of your estate, you can still guide their future through your Will and other supporting documents.

We work with families across Geelong, Greater Melbourne, and Victoria to create tailored succession plans, so trusts and companies can continue smoothly and stay in the hands of those you trust most.
