Money is thicker than Blood?
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
A business lawyer in Toronto, Bliss White, said, “You need to manage succession so that you won’t run into disputes. You usually run into disputes when you’re in the second generation and other siblings are involved. An “issue of fairness” will rise, which will create tension and may spillover into a brawl in the family. These disputes come up when the parties try to take advantage of each other.
“Greed is often the root of family fights,” said Bryan Haynes, corporate lawyer in Calgary. “It seems that money is now thicker than blood. However, the problem festers due to lack of succession planning,” he reveals.
Moreover, a lawyer in Toronto, David Malach, said “One way that the family can have peace is for the parents to maintain the company’s voting control through family trust. It may be structured properly so that the next generation can benefit from the company’s growth. In the meantime, the parents still maintain control and keep the children in line.”
“Communication is the key. The founder must make sure that everyone understands the reasons in deciding the roles that each of them will have in the business,” Malach added. Furthermore, lawyers say that a shareholder’s agreement is also an important document to make when the founder plans to pass the company to the next set of owners.
