Family businesses have a crucial role in the global economy. However, while it is not easy to create wealth, it is even more challenging to maintain wealth. When faced with intergenerational succession, if a company does not properly plan for business succession, issues such as competition for management rights, division of assets, division of shareholding, decline of business scale, and competition for family properties may arise. Moreover, in the era of globalization, the holdings of family business owners or high-income individuals are spread across many legal fields or even involve multiple nationalities, which makes family estate planning involve complex legal issues.
