I dive into a topic most people avoid until it’s far too late: succession planning. Whether someone owns a business, has built wealth through Australian property, is watching trends shaping Australian property 2026, or is focused on protecting Australian wealth for the next generation, succession touches every part of life. It goes beyond the financial structures it hits the emotional, relational, and identity-driven layers that define intergenerational wealth and long-term legacy.
What I’ve seen again and again is that founders and families delay planning not because they don’t value their business or their Australian wealth, but because the process is uncomfortable. Business owners worry about losing relevance or control. Parents feel the pressure of fairness, sibling dynamics, and whether the next generation can step up. And a lot of people simply hope things will “work themselves out.” They don’t. Instead, the fallout can be harsh unnecessary tax burdens, family disputes, rushed fire-sale exits, distressed sales of Australian property assets, and even businesses collapsing because a leader stepped away without a transition plan.
In this episode, I talk openly about the emotional landmines that sit beneath wealth transfer and succession: the founder’s shadow, fairness versus equality, entitlement issues, and all the unspoken expectations that drive conflict. I share how early, structured conversations guided family meetings, values charters, and clear governance frameworks can prevent years of tension. I’ve seen families become stronger and more unified when they tackle succession early. And I’ve also witnessed families who waited too long and became cautionary examples of what happens when Australian wealth, business equity, and property assets aren’t protected with a thoughtful succession plan.
