Optimising personal wealth and planning its transfer
Wills · Gifts · Couples · Family · Split ownership
Planning ahead means keeping control over where your assets go and sparing your loved ones a heavy tax burden and needless tension. Jean-Pierre LAMETA and Pauline CÉZANNE guide each client in organising their personal wealth through every stage of life: choice of matrimonial regime or PACS, gifts, authentic will, future protection mandate, split ownership (usufruct and bare ownership), family SCI. Changes in family life (divorce, adoption, blended families) are built into this overall approach. Each strategy is tailor-made, taking into account each client's family, tax and financial circumstances.
