Estate planning, succession, family-trust structuring, will drafting and inheritance disputes for HNIs and family offices. Cross-border-asset structuring and family-business governance.
Private-client practice covers the legal architecture of family wealth — estate planning, succession, family-trust structures, will drafting, inheritance disputes, family-business governance and cross-border asset structuring. The work draws on the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 (as amended in 2005), the Indian Succession Act, 1925 (for non-Hindu testators), the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 (for private trusts) and the FEMA framework (for offshore-asset structuring).
Will drafting, codicil, succession-certificate strategy and probate proceedings.
Private discretionary trusts, family trusts, charitable trusts, succession-planning trusts.
Probate contests, intestate succession matters, partition and family-arrangement disputes.
Family-business governance, family-charter drafting, generational-transition planning.
Estate planning begins with the will. A properly drafted will under the Indian Succession Act anticipates succession-certificate proceedings, probate (where required), and the management of cross-border assets. The firm drafts wills for individuals with assets in India and abroad, with careful attention to forced-heirship provisions in foreign jurisdictions.
Private discretionary trusts, family trusts and succession-planning trusts under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 are an established mechanism for family-wealth structuring. The firm advises on settlor-beneficiary architecture, trustee selection, distribution mechanisms, and the income-tax treatment under the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Succession disputes — probate contests, intestate-succession matters, partition and family-arrangement disputes — are litigated before the District Courts (probate jurisdiction) and the High Courts (testamentary jurisdiction in some States). The firm has acted in matters involving urban real-estate of significant value, cross-border assets and contested codicils.
Family-business governance covers family-charter drafting, board-composition planning, succession-planning agreements between family members, and the resolution of family disputes that arise around business control.
