Family Businesses in Germany – total lack of trust(s)?
From FFI Practitioner
For advisors working with family business clients operating across multiple countries, it is important to keep informed about jurisdictional differences and how they could impact your clients. This week, we are pleased to share such an example, and we thank Stephan Ebner for this examination of German inheritance law, which does not recognize the concept of trusts.
Applied Research and An Invitation

This issue features a report of the first applied research project sponsored by the FFI 2086 Society. It is entitled “Professionalizing the Business Family: The Five Pillars of Competent, Committed and Sustainable Ownership.” Three other recent studies are also included as FFI Practitioner continues to place before its readers the latest in applied research, creating a forum for researchers and practitioners to interact on specific topics. Read more for the “invitation” which accompanies each report.
