The apparent confusion of assets in the conflict between the Maksoud heirs

In a comment to VEJA, Family Office coordinator Juliana Maria Raffo Montero talks about the conflict over assets between the heirs of the Maksoud group, a luxury hotel located in Bela Vista, São Paulo, who are disputing the values of the family assets with the creditors in the competitive process.

“It’s a typical situation for business families: the confusion of assets between what the business is – represented here by the interests of the creditors – and the heirs’ appetite for the value arising from that business,” explains Juliana, who also comments on the importance of succession planning in family businesses to mitigate these risks.
