Develops a structure that continues the mission of implementing and following the recommendations for your heirs.
Works within a structure that is supervised by the Order of Chartered Accountants.
Discover our report
Our 2025 "International Heritage" report provides an in-depth analysis of the international transmission of heritage, addressing both the challenges and opportunities of international inheritance. Discover how exit tax works in France, or how assets are evaluated in Italy – incorporating legal, fiscal, and economic perspectives.
Created in the 18th century in German-speaking Switzerland to avoid disputes between children and also to optimize the management of assets and their taxation, inheritance pacts fix the allocation of assets to successors and are updated every 5 years with a Notary.
1) The heritage is broken up, and each child/heir is given a portion (the Napoleonic Code to destroy large fortunes).
Or, 2) The estate is preserved for future generations (trusts in the USA): the heritage from the parents must never be spent but kept for the grandchildren.
For example, in St. Barthélemy, the parents' original homes are sacred and must be preserved.
