Succession planning is the silent risk in family offices.
51% of global family offices say the lack of succession planning is a major risk.
Yet 86% still don’t have a clear plan.
And the consequences are real.
Nearly 70% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the second generation.
Because succession is not the same as inheritance.
Inheritance transfers assets.
Succession transfers leadership, control, accountability, and decision rights.
But these conversations are difficult about leadership, retirement, and family dynamics.
So they often get postponed.
Until the transition suddenly becomes urgent.
The real question is:
When should succession planning actually begin?
