Your monthly support

• 2 one-hour Zoom strategy consultations per monthly service period, normally spaced two weeks apart. Consultation time forms part of your total monthly allowance.

Support across your personal and business affairs

Your membership can cover more than one agreed area, bringing your personal, family, asset and business priorities into one considered strategy.

• Personal and family matters: organising information, reviewing correspondence and considering practical next steps.
• Property and assets: research and document review relating to ownership, property interests and recreational yachts.
• Wills, probate and succession: reviewing existing information, clarifying wishes and succession objectives, and preparing questions for the relevant professional advisers.
• Business and commercial contracts: contract review, research, commercial risk analysis and drafting support within the agreed scope.
• Trusts and wealth structuring: research, document organisation and strategic coordination with appropriately qualified legal, tax and financial advisers.
• Cross-border matters: identifying issues involving more than one country and coordinating input from advisers in the relevant jurisdictions.

Areas of focus are agreed during onboarding and may be reviewed as your needs develop. All work across those areas shares the same monthly time allowance; the allowance is not provided separately for each matter. New matters remain subject to conflict and suitability checks.

How the allowance works

All professional work, including consultations, preparation, messages, document review and follow-up, counts towards the total monthly allowance. Support is not unlimited. Work is prioritised with you; substantial documents may require a separate quotation. Additional work proceeds only after its scope and fee are agreed in writing.

Monthly oversight

Your membership includes an agreed monthly priorities plan and a concise progress summary. Preparing these and coordinating with your professional advisers counts towards the monthly allowance.

Joining and payment

Membership is subject to a suitability and conflict check, an agreed written scope and a signed Client Care Agreement. The monthly fee is payable in advance. Your commencement date, payment method, renewal arrangements, cancellation rights and treatment of unused time will be confirmed in that agreement before any payment commitment. Any recurring payment requires your express authorisation.
