Family offices face increasing scrutiny from regulators worldwide, with evolving tax laws, anti-money laundering requirements, and reporting obligations. Changes such as halving of gift and estate tax exemptions in some jurisdictions add complexity to wealth transfer planning. Compliance demands can be costly and time-consuming, especially for multi-jurisdictional family offices.
Proactive engagement with regulatory developments and expert advisory services enable family offices to optimise tax efficiency and mitigate compliance risks. Strategic structuring of assets and trusts can preserve wealth across generations while adhering to legal requirements. Staying ahead of policy changes supports long-term stability and protects family legacies. Moreover, transparent governance and reporting enhance reputation and stakeholder confidence
