Why CTEPTM?
The number of affluent Indians has doubled over the past decade and many of them are entering or have already transitioned into retirement. Estate Planning is becoming increasingly necessary for these individuals to ensure a planned succession, avoid family feuds leading to disintegration of businesses and lengthy court battles. Also, if estate duty is reinstated in India today or in the near future, estate planning may turn out to be the best tool to minimize the estate duty.
The Succession Laws in India are very complex as each community has its own laws leading to over 45 Laws that govern inheritance in India. Providers of Trust and Estate Planning Services in India are anticipating exponential growth in the Estate Planning Services in coming years due to increased demand by clients both individuals and families, complexity of legal system and inheritance laws and taxation concerns. That is the reason why leading Wealth Management Service Providers are setting up exclusive Estate Planning Divisions in their organizations.
