Questions people ask

What net worth requires a family office?

There is no universal threshold. Complexity, privacy, control, services, and total operating cost matter alongside assets.

Does a family office replace attorneys and CPAs?

Typically no. It often coordinates specialized professionals and consolidates information and execution.
