Our focus stays with you and yours.

Patrimonies are never just about assets. They are about people. A founder. A spouse. Children with different lives, countries, ambitions, and degrees of involvement.

That is why Yours begins with the full human and patrimonial reality that surrounds a family. We design the structure, governance, and transmission needed to make that reality workable over time. And make sure every answer we give fits the coherent whole.

Not the maximum. The optimum.Coherent. Lawful. Resilient.Built to hold. Built to last.

For families whose reality is more complex than standard wealth planning

When the stakes are this high, structure is never administrative. It is strategic.

YOURS Patrimonial Architecture

Designing coherent patrimonies across borders & generations.

For families whose patrimony has become too important, too complex, too international or too personal for standard advice..

Your patrimony is not a file. It is a living ecosystem of people, assets, decisions, jurisdictions and intentions.

As families grow, move forward in life, live across borders, invest, transmit or reorganise, that system can become fragile over time. What was once clear may no longer hold. What was once efficient may no longer be coherent. What was once understood by one generation may no longer serve the next.

Yours starts with you and yours. Before structures. Before jurisdictions. Before solutions.

We design patrimonial architectures that bring private, professional and family realities into one coherent whole – so intentions remain clear, decisions remain under control, and patrimony remains resilient as individual lives evolve and rules change.

YOURS Life Insurance & Asset Structuring

For families, entrepreneurs and investors who want to hold, organise or transfer assets and investments through the right long-term structure.

How assets are held can matter as much as how they are invested.

In the right circumstances, a tailored life-insurance structure can create a more efficient framework around selected assets or investment portfolios. Not as insurance in the traditional sense. But as a long-term legal and fiscal wrapper, designed around the assets, people and jurisdictions involved.

It can help reduce fiscal friction on securities accounts, stock-exchange transactions, dividends and interests. It can defer the taxation of capital gains until money is withdrawn. It can simplify reporting in an increasingly complex tax environment. And it can prepare for future transmission to the right beneficiaries, under the right conditions.

But the value is never in the wrapper alone.

The value is in knowing whether it should be used, how it should be structured, and how to keep it coherent over time and across borders. That requires expertise most standard brokers, insurers or investment advisors are not built to provide.

Yours brings life insurance structuring back into the wider patrimonial architecture. We assess your assets, fiscal reality, family context, country of residence, beneficiaries and long-term intentions before determining whether such a structure is appropriate.

If it is, we select the right insurance partner, structure the contract, organise the assets within it, and monitor its coherence over time. So your assets are not simply placed inside an insurance policy. They are structured with intent.

YOURS Ownership Transitions

Guiding owners through decisive changes in ownership, financing or control, while keeping their patrimonial architecture coherent.

For shareholders, families and asset owners facing a decisive transition around a company, participation or strategic asset, where the transaction is only one part of what must be protected.

Changing the ownership, financing or control of a company, participation or strategic asset is never just a transaction. It is a turning point.

For the owner. For the family. For the patrimony. Often, for the company and its people too.

Around you, every expert has a role. The bank looks at the deal. The lawyers look at the contracts. The auditors look at the numbers. But who looks at what the transition will mean for you – before, while and after it happens?

What exactly is being sold, retained, refinanced or reorganised?

Where will the proceeds or financing flows land?

Is the right holding structure already in place?

What must be reorganised before closing?

What remains after the transaction?

How will the patrimony continue?

And how can the transition happen without unnecessary friction for the people and structures around it?

Yours guides shareholders and owners through decisive ownership events with one clear purpose: to make sure the transaction fits the wider patrimonial architecture.

Why families choose YOURS

Because patrimonial complexity needs architecture, not fragmented advice.

Families often surround themselves with capable specialists who each see one part of the picture. Yours can hold the whole.

We define what needs to be built and assist you in setting up a coherent architecture. All within the specificities of every jurisdiction in which you or your family operate. This is how families avoid scattered recommendations, hidden contradictions and structures that look right on paper but fail in real life.

    Design

    We define the governance logic, the structural options and the legal and tax architecture required to create coherence.

  3. 3

    Orchestrate

    As the conductor of the various experts involved (lawyers, tax advisors, bankers, notaries, …), we guide the implementation so that the whole process remains aligned from intent to execution.
