Avoid a Real-Life Succession: How Estate Planning Prevents Family Conflict

If you’ve watched HBO’s hit show Succession, you know how ugly family conflict can get when wealth, business, and legacy are on the line. While the drama is fictional, the issues it portrays are very real — especially for families who haven’t put a clear estate and succession plan in place.

At The Kaiser Law Firm in Chesterfield, Missouri, we help families avoid the chaos seen on-screen. Without careful planning, even well-meaning families can find themselves in:

  • Court battles over business control
  • Fights between siblings over trustee roles
  • Disagreements about who manages family assets
  • Risk of losing real estate or business value due to poor transition planning

You don’t need to be a billionaire to have these problems — just a family with assets, children, or a closely held business.

We craft customized plans to:

✅ Clearly name successor trustees and decision-makers
