Legacy · For families that decide together
Family Governance Design
A family that can decide together can hold anything together.
The promise, in one line
"Our constitution has survived three weddings and one feud."
The story
Every family is a boardroom
Money rarely breaks families. Undecided questions do: who votes, who spends, who speaks for the estate, what happens when two branches disagree.
Family governance design answers those questions while everyone still likes each other — a constitution, a council, and rituals of decision that turn wealth from a pressure into a practice.
What it protects
Promises, kept in writing
A written constitution
Roles, rights and rules the whole family helped draft — and signed.
Decisions with a process
Councils and votes replace ambushes at funerals.
Conflict, choreographed
Disagreement gets a forum, a mediator and a deadline.
New members, onboarded
In-laws and heirs join a system, not a mystery.
Who This Is For
- Families with enough wealth to disagree over it — and enough sense to want a process instead
- Multi-branch families where decisions currently require everyone in the same room
- Business-owning families where commercial and family decisions have never been separated
- Any family that has watched an undecided question become a feud
How We Design It
- 01 Draft a family constitution together — roles, rights and decision-making rules
- 02 Establish a family council with a regular meeting rhythm and a clear mandate
- 03 Build a conflict process: a forum, a mediator, a deadline and a record
- 04 Onboard new members — spouses, heirs — into the system, not the mystery

Families who made the promise
The constitution meeting was awkward. Every meeting since has not been.
We disagree as loudly as ever — inside a process that ends with a decision.
