What Is wealth management & trust and When Is It Needed
Legal and tax wealth management concerns the protection and orderly transfer of family and business assets: trusts, family succession agreements, family holding companies, insurance policies and fiduciary mandates. For trusts, art. 4-bis del TUS (introduced by D.Lgs. 139/2024) confirms that inheritance and gift taxes apply when assets are transferred to beneficiaries, with an option to pay in advance when assets are settled into the trust; this option is irrevocable.

We provide highly specialised advice on the effective management of personal and family wealth, with particular attention to tax risk and intergenerational transfers.
