“A significant number of familial conflicts arise from the transfer of wealth between generations. ‘The biggest issue is communication,’ he tells Spear’s. ‘By that I mean the older generation not making it clear to the next generation – of whom there might be multiple individuals – precisely what it is they are intending to do and why, rather leaving it to an explanation from a solicitor post-death or in some other forum.’"
