Effective succession planning and estate planning are vital for families and business owners seeking to secure their future. While estate planning ensures that personal assets are transferred smoothly through trusts and wills in India, succession planning for family businesses focuses on leadership transition, governance, and continuity. Together, these strategies safeguard family business legacy, ensure wealth preservation, and enable long-term legacy planning.
