Dividing a shrinking pie?

How can family's without sufficient assets and their advisors broach this issue with family leaders?

Only 61% of respondents have enough resources to divide their assets fairly among heirs who work in the business and those who do not, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers’ global family business survey. Also:
• 14.6% of global respondents do not have sufficient assets to distribute fairly
• 23.6% do not know or have not even considered the issue.

Our intergenerational equity calculators can help you see what your estate might be worth in 20 and 40 years, and also show how much your company must grow to support your growing family. You may be surprised!
