We help you preserve legacy, simplify family structures and build a secure future.
- With Indian personal law, tax regimes, and cross-border assets evolving rapidly, families and individuals face increasing complexity in succession, wills and estate planning.
- Family constitutions, trusts and settlements must be designed not only for tax efficiency but also for governance, inter-generational transfer and conflict avoidance.
- Disputes over estates, wills and trust arrangements can be protracted and emotionally charged—early structuring and legal clarity reduce the risk of contentious litigation.
At Aretha Legal, our Private Client Practice is dedicated to serving individuals, family offices, business families and HNIs with bespoke legal solutions tailored to their unique circumstances. Whether you are considering your first will, evaluating a family settlement, drafting trusts across jurisdictions, or plotting seamless succession of family business interests, we align legal strategy with personal values, commercial realities and regulatory discipline.
We combine deep knowledge of Indian succession laws, taxation, trusts, and international dimensions with the clarity, sensitivity and discretion that private-client engagements require.
