Specialist Legacy Practice of CAN Advisory

Heritage Trust & Estate Advisors

Helping individuals and families make deliberate decisions about what they build and how it is carried forward.

The Legacy Practice

Legacy is not simply about what happens to your assets when you are gone. It is about making deliberate decisions, while you can, about what you own, who controls it, who benefits from it, how decisions will be made, and how the people who come after you will be prepared to carry what you have built.

Specialist Services

Core Areas of Heritage Practice

01

Trust Structuring

Advising on the design and structuring of trusts to hold, protect and direct family wealth.

02

Estate Planning

Developing a coordinated plan for how property, investments, and assets are owned, protected and ultimately transferred.

03

Family Governance

Developing agreed frameworks for decision-making, control, responsibility and accountability within family wealth.

04

Business Succession

Preparing ownership and leadership for transition, continuity and eventual transfer beyond its founder.

05

Lifetime Wealth Transfers

Advising on gifts and other lifetime transfers as part of a wider estate and family wealth plan.

06

Next-Generation Preparation

Helping the next generation understand the responsibilities that may accompany what they inherit.

A Different Starting Point

Heritage does not begin with a document. It begins with a conversation about the family, the assets, the intentions, the relationships and the risks. The appropriate legal or governance structure can then be considered in that context.

Heritage within CAN Advisory

Heritage Trust & Estate Advisors is the specialist practice name used by CAN Advisory for its Legacy work. It is not a separate company. Engagements are undertaken through CAN Advisory on the same advisory basis as CAN’s other work.

Who This Is For

  • β€œMy children are going to inherit all this. How should I organise it?”
  • β€œI have built quite a lot, but I am not sure everything is properly structured.”
  • β€œI want what I have built to remain useful and intact for the people who come after me.”
  • β€œI have an idea. Let me talk to Catherine before I take the next step.”

Begin with a Legacy Conversation

A confidential conversation about what you have, how it is currently held, what you want to achieve, and what deserves attention now versus later.
