What is Drafting Family Charters?

Drafting family charters is the process of creating a formal document that outlines the rules, principles, and governance structures guiding a family’s business, wealth, and shared legacy.

  • The family’s mission, vision, and core values.
  • Governance structures, including roles and responsibilities.
  • Decision-making processes and conflict resolution mechanisms.
  • Policies for wealth management, succession planning, and philanthropy.
  • Guidelines for family member involvement in business and investments.
