The grit and determination that often drive family-business founders to success can, paradoxically, become obstacles when it comes time to transition leadership.

Many founders struggle with letting go, whether due to a sense of irreplaceability, a reluctance to face the unknown, or simply the deeply personal attachment they have to the business.

What is a 'living will'? ✍️

The term ‘living will’ is often used to refer to what’s known as an ‘advance directive’ in Scotland, or an ‘advance decision’ in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

It is a written record of medical treatment that you may or may not wish to receive in the future. It only comes in to effect if you lose mental capacity or otherwise lose the ability to communicate your wishes.

Do you have questions about Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs)? 🤔

A LPA is a legal document that allows you to nominate someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself.

The legal term for this is ‘losing capacity’. This means that someone cannot make their own decisions about their health or money because of illness, injury or other reasons.
