    IN MANY multi-generational families, the most urgent questions about wealth are no longer financial. The systems are in place, the capital is preserved, the structures work.

    But beneath the surface lies a quieter uncertainty, one that no spreadsheet can resolve: not how to sustain wealth, but how to prepare for transition and succession.

    When wealth has endured for decades or centuries, the focus naturally shifts from creation to continuity. But continuity is not the same as meaning. Without a clearly articulated purpose, even the most professionally governed families risk a slow erosion – not of capital, but of clarity.
