Sales, successions and intra-family transfers are the moments when a structure is tested. The work that determines the outcome is almost always done years earlier.
Preparation, consent and record — with commercial advice taken from external specialists.
Title, cap table, consents and historical minutes assembled before a buyer’s adviser asks. Gaps found early are administrative; found late they are price.
Who must approve a transfer — trustee, protector, co-shareholders, lenders — established at the outset, not mid-negotiation.
Movements between generations executed under the deed, which is precisely the eventuality a trust is designed to handle without abating.
Deferred consideration, earn-outs, escrows and warranty periods tracked as continuing obligations of the structure.
A well-administered structure is close to diligence-ready at all times. That is a by-product of the record-keeping, not a project.
Valuation and negotiation are matters for appointed corporate finance advisers. The Trust holds, consents and records.
Headline price is not proceeds. The capital gains calculator illustrates the gap.
Post-completion obligations are diarised. Most disputes arise after signing, not before.
