If unforeseen events arise in everyday life, the corporate and succession routines of companies and families don’t need to have them. With proper planning, it is possible to prepare in advance for conflicts and difficulties.

Anyone who has experienced a succession conflict knows how useful planning is and how it prevents problems, many of which are also harmful to the family core. There is also the loss that can be avoided with the right taxation on inventoried assets.

In companies, doubts can be easily resolved with succession plans and corporate governance models. Planning for S/A routines should also be prepared, to prevent litigation and losses.

A well-written articles of association and a detailed shareholders’ agreement can be the basis for reducing a variety of corporate conflicts. It is up to decision makers to anticipate these delicate issues involving business and equity, escaping the rigorous statistics: according to a survey conducted by a corporate governance consulting firm, only 30% of Brazilian family businesses reach the second generation. An even more alarming index points out that of these, only 5% manage to reach the third generation
