Estate, legacy & family continuity
Build the structure your family will actually need.
We implement the full estate and succession suite for international families in Vietnam: wills, trusts, foundations, insurance, beneficiary planning, succession structures and a practical Family Action Plan.
Discuss Your Estate PlanMore than a will
Estate planning is the operating system for what happens next.
The job is to make ownership, control, liquidity and family instructions work together across the countries that matter.
Will writing & local implementation
Vietnam will-writing and local estate implementation are handled in-house through Dat. Where another jurisdiction requires local drafting, we coordinate that work into the same family plan.
Trusts & foundations
Where appropriate, we help design and coordinate structures for long-term control, family governance, asset protection, philanthropy and multi-generational ownership.
Insurance & estate liquidity
We model what the family would actually need on death or incapacity, then use insurance where it solves a real liquidity, protection or equalisation problem.
Business & ownership succession
For founders and family businesses, the estate plan must also address who owns, votes, manages and ultimately receives the business—not simply who inherits personal assets.
One architecture across jurisdictions
We map property, investments, retirement accounts, companies, policies and existing documents so that local arrangements do not accidentally contradict one another.
Family Action Plan
The plan has to survive contact with real life.
A technically correct structure is not enough if your family does not know what exists, where the documents are or who to call. The Family Action Plan turns the architecture into an operating guide.
One practical document
If something happens tomorrow, what does your family do first?
We distil the estate structure into a clear family reference: ownership, responsibilities, key documents, advisers, immediate priorities and the sequence of actions.
What the family owns, where it sits and how it is titled.
Executors, attorneys, trustees, guardians and business decision-makers.
Which wills, trusts, policies and corporate records matter—and where they are held.
Who the family contacts first and which adviser owns each part of the process.
Cash, insurance and accessible assets available for the first months.
A living plan that is revisited as assets, family and jurisdictions change.
For international families
The difficult cases are rarely just legal.
They involve property, companies, investment accounts, children in different countries, second marriages, U.S. or UK exposure, liquidity needs and a family business that cannot simply be split into pieces.
Our job is to make the pieces work together.
That can mean combining wills with trusts or foundations, ownership changes, insurance, beneficiary work, succession planning and a practical family operating guide. The structure is driven by the family problem—not by a preferred product.
