Family business, family constitution and succession

Family businesses are special. Besides the usual problems that can occur within a company, family ties can also play a role. It is therefore essential to lay down agreements properly. A family constitution or charter can help in this. In it, the family's basic views, wishes for the future and relations are laid down.

Who gets the upper hand?

If the aim is for the business to pass from the parents to the children, this gives rise to a number of questions in need of answering. After all, do the children want that? And what if one of them does want that and the others do not? And what if children are still minors? And what if something unexpected happens to the parents, who will be in charge then? Kienhuis Legal can help you answer these questions and others.

Laying down agreements

Our civil-law notaries in the fields of business law and family law work closely together and are skilled in drafting the necessary documents and in structuring and laying down agreements. Governance and relations are recorded properly as well.

What we do

We advise on the position and role of partners and (minor) children and other stakeholders. And we help draw up last wills and testaments, including living wills. These are of great importance in the event of death or when the actual owners are no longer able to conduct business. Clarity on the future enables you to conduct business now, with peace of mind.
