The Baron Whitmore Approach
The real work is understanding how ownership, taxation, control, protection and family intent interact—and where one decision creates consequences somewhere else.
Define what is changing, what is at risk and what outcome actually matters.
Understand the entities, assets, documents, people and professional disciplines already in place.
Look for legal, tax, succession and governance consequences that isolated planning can miss.
Translate strategy into documents, ownership, responsibilities and an operating plan.
